I'm *growing* something!!
(no, not a baby... ::shudder::)
I started a few green bean seeds last week and they've already begun sprouting! Details are in my blog. I'm soooo not a gardener, but thought I'd give these a shot since I already had them around. Woot! I hope they keep growing!
Maybe I'll really shock myself and learn how to can something before the fall.
Re: I'm *growing* something!!
Be careful, it is contagious! Four years ago I was buying some fresh basil for pasta sauce. I decided it was too expensve to buy little pots of it all the time, so I replanted the little plants more spread out in a pot. They did really well out on my balcony. Then I got an allotment and now I grow Loads of things.
Enjoy!
Beans are pretty tough. Mine are flowering up a storm right now.
Blanching and freezing is much easier than canning. Although green bean pickles are pretty good, too.
A freezer I can handle.
Do you make gb pickles? A friend of mine brought some to a picnic a few years ago and they were so good!

I haven't made them yet, but my mom does. She knows all the preserving secrets!
Pickles in general are pretty easy - the vinegar keeps you from accidentally poisoning yourself.
Haha, a valuable addition, no doubt.
