More Harvest: Soybeans

Yesterday I harvested most of the soybeans. (The beans I managed to wrestle away from the rabbit and the chickens.) Even with all the competition for the soybeans, I managed to get six bags of blanched beans for the freezer.

Usually, the beans are all ripe at the same time. I just pull them out and then strip the beans from the plant, usually in mid-September.

 Throw whole pods into boiling water. Let the water heat to a boil again, and then remove beans to a cold water bath.

Drain and then put in freezer bags.

More Reasons to Hate us

All of these birds have been saved by an animal conservation group. They are unable to survive in the wild because they cannot fly.

 The group, takes them around to rural fairs to raise money. I like that they are trying to save birds but I wish they did not have to display the birds like this.
