~The Beans~

~Before~



~After~




We just irrigated the field for the last time, and in one month after the plants have dried up, we will harvest the beans!

  1. That is SO cool.....they look so healthy and beautiful.

    Who's that out in the distance??

    Interesting, no water for a month and then harvest....didn't know that's how it goes.

    Will the beans end up at the market on the produce shelf? Canned? Shipped overseas?

    Please tell Manly thank you - we appreciate all you both do to keep food on our tables.

    Have a great week my friend!!!

  2. The Beans will be sold for seed and also as 'dry beans'
    So,yes some of which will most certainly end up on produce shelves even over in other countries:)
    That is Manly in the field, Lap Dog, Carrying his shovel, we were irrigating:)

  3. Wow! They look healthy! What hard work that must be. I know working a little backyard garden can make my back ache!

  6. Wow that sounds like a lot of work! I didnt realize either that you stop watering them prior to harvest, makes sense though. Sending you happy harvest vibes.

  7. This is so impressive! It looks like a lot of hard work. I keep seeing the bumper sticker "Farms = Food", I will think of you each time I see it now...

  8. Beautiful. I know they don't grow by themselves, so you must be proud of how good they look this year.
