Heirloom Tomatoes

I have been too busy doing this,

to blog about all of these

covering every surface of my house.
I'm not really complaining, I'm just tired of canning.
I am working on identifying and seed saving too, so I may not be around as often as I'd like.
I'll post a bunch of pictures of all the varieties we have grown this year tomorrow.
Now I think I'll go make a tomato sandwich.....

Canning

We have been getting a lot of green beans, our plants are still really little, but
the beans just keep coming.
Last year we had none at all, thanks to the Ground Hog, so I wanted to make the most
of this years harvest. I normally freeze my beans, but the results don't stand up well, and
my blog friend, Twice Bloomed Wisteria,
had previously posted about canning green beans with directions even I could follow.
I will link them here.
I ended up using a yellow squash that Farmer Dad brought in as well in a few of the jars.
I like them together and figured I would try it.
They look good to me..not as pretty as Wisteria's, but oh well.
I will enjoy them in the winter even if they are not as pretty in the jar!
I plan on doing it again, but we wanted some for fresh eating, so I just did a batch
and a half this time.
