I wasn’t sure just how many of the beans had produced, so I went out early Saturday morning to get them picked before it got hot. It would take a while to process them and I wanted to be done by noon.
I got them half cleaned up and stopped to get the garlic weighed up for the people to pick up. Then I finished cleaning them up and got set up to process them.
I got the 8¾ pints finished and the kitchen cleaned up by 11AM. The garlic was picked up, and I gave the person tips on growing it. I spent the rest of the hot day either watching movies or sleeping or talking with friends on the phone.
Sunday is to be even worse. Thank goodness I don’t need to mow the lawn. I think I’ll try to get the beets done early. That’s the last of the harvesting I needed to get caught up on.
This heat might last until Wednesday before a Canadian front brings cooler weather.
