as long as they are fairly well developed inside they should be ok for continued curing. it's when they're green and soft that they usually don't improve off the vine. i think the stem is a good indicator of how far along they are, if the stem is pretty hard and mostly dry they're as done as...

i didn't expect to get out and pick beans but the weather was really nice and i wanted to do something even if it meant walking around in muddy shoes. i have flats of beans out in the sun and breeze drying them off as much as possible before i bring them in later.

@ducks4you any garlic that grew this year if left in the ground should be ok for next season, but it will be a clump of bulbs and most of them are likely to be smaller. after several years what you will have is a larger clump of garlic (as long as it doesn't get overgrown by something else and...

yes, this is right out of middle eastern cuisine. :) very good eats. all of it. as for cleanup. nobody here except us chickens...

i went to put something in the cup to warm it up in the microwave this morning and missed the cup by half. so that was the start of my day... :) coordinated i was not... we are on opposite schedules again. last night about 3am some emergency vehicle came through with sirens blaring. like...

i read the description and noted the point about boiling them simply because they have a delicate flavor. i do that for almost all of my dry beans because i enjoy their unique flavors and don't like to mask them by putting in a lot of other ingredients. most of the time something simple like...

we have the option of displaying it or not. i don't see them (nor do i want to - nothing personal, i just don't like clutter on the screen like that). :) you can also put stuff in your profile...

i still had some beans to pick but i'm not sure now that they'll be any good with how much rain is in the forecast. yet i will cross those bridges when i get to them... some of the bean plants are still finishing up. the website for first frost dates puts us down for average on Oct 22nd, but...

rained much of the night and this morning, looks like chances most of the week. a good day to read some interesting articles and came across this one: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250923-the-3000-year-old-story-hidden-in-your-keyboard which i'm reading, but then i saw a reference in...

i know it is wonderful to get going on shelling beans. i've not had as much time in recent weeks as i would normally have but here or there i squeeze in a few because it really is my favorite time of the year. today i spent at least a whole hour (maybe two since time can go by so quickly)...

"Over your dead body huh...?" :)

it is great to see some beans grown out by someone who has better garden soil than i have and they look wonderful. :) [i think i'm "antman" since my e-mail does have anthive in it]

funny this time around too, but you did post this a few days ago... ;)

chances of rain for the next few days including shortly. we'll see how it goes... :) [just as i finished typing that and posted it it started to rain... ha!]

when the great diversion happened (when facebook arrived as a "thing") all sorts of people i knew disappeared...

oh, thanks for the information! :)

welcome to TEG from mid-Michigan. :) i'm glad to see such wonderful beans.
