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.
