I know the feeling. I got back in town yesterday and had 6 qt bags worth of green beans waiting on me and a mess of pickles waiting to be made.

my squash and zucchini is pretty much done and gone... been picking it for the past month. I did pick a bushel of purple hulled peas this afternoon. Started my kids shelling tonight!

Can't grow okra down here... the fire ants eat it all.. just leave a skeleton where the pod once was

we dont do much canning anymore, except the pickles,pickled okra and peppers dont have room for it although i was thinking of building a storm/food cellar but decided it would prolly become home to some rattlesnakes. we just mostly blanch and freeze enough for winter.

why can pints of beans instead of quarts? my wife and i can almost eat up and quart in one sitting with leftovers, lol.
