I actually miss shelling beans in the evenings.

So, have you thought about pistachios?

The last soybean ("Seneca") was shelled yesterday. Now I started shelling out this year's "Painted Mountain" seed corn, so at least I don't have to go cold turkey. That alone will take 2-3 days by hand. I had originally planned to grow "Gaspe"... maybe next year.

i do too when it is all done, but sometimes i'm willing to mix some beans back together so i can sort them out again. i like the tactile feedback it gives me to run my hands through beans in box tops. and i also like the visual aspects of the colors, patterns and shapes... i'm not completely done yet, but getting close, the last box of PD beans i've almost finished and if i get out tomorrow to pick more Venda i can have those in my queue to get shelled sometime when i can get around to it.

There's always bean polishing... just saying.

I heard that many farmers Here were waiting for today's rain bc the soybeans are too dry.
Ever heard of that?!?!?

@Bluejay77 , I didn't believe it either.
It is interesting what gardening jobs you are addicted to doing.
I wonder...is there a list?
like the 7 different intelligences?

Yeah and there are peanuts too. Well how about fortune cookies LOL. Maybe you could jump a plane and take a ride over to Artorious's house. Well, I got the last of the shelling done this morning. I know what you mean. It does become a part of the daily routine for almost two months for me. I've been doing most of my shelling right when I get up each day. Yesterday was the very last of roto-tilling of bean growing ground. Time to do a bit of house cleaning and then bean photo taking. The Big Bean show will be coming next.

Gaspe is a great variety. Just ask my squirrels.
