Canning Beans

Posted by DraginFli on July 8, 2009

Why do they call it canning when you are putting in a jar? My new term for it is “jarring” beans. As you guys know i am also FarmerFli. Today i am “jarring” beans. Right now i hear the jigger in there doing the jig. You young city folk may ask what in the world is a jigger. Well it is the round thing on top of this lid.


Pressure cookers are dangerous. I’m affraid every year that i’m somehow going to blow it up and have green beans all over the place. And yes that can happen.

Final product.
If you do anything with green beans do you say break beans or snap beans?
Does anyone “jar” any veggies or put up any food from a garden?

(Here is a guide to canning beans)

Farmer Fli

Hello folks. It’s garden time here. The photo posted is one of my previous gardens. I’m just now getting seeds and slips planted. So far I have green peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and jalapeños planted in “my” garden. In the community garden(grandparents next door) I have corn, green beans, and potatoes. This year I need to put up corn and can(or as I like to say “jar”) green beans. Who would have ever thought of me as FarmerFli?

saturdaysWe moved into this house almost 4 years ago and one of the things that I absolutely love about it is the unusual landscape that we have.  We live on a high elevation and our house is the last house on a dead end street tucked away a bit.  In front of our house is a little pathway and once you cross that there is a very steep hill that leads to the street above us.  The hill wraps around our house into the backyard and, as you get to the side of the house, the hill isn’t as steep.  On the side of our house are old cement stairs that also leads to the street above us.  On this hill are old long stones and cement pieces, large rocks and a couple of trees.
