Beans, beans and more beans!

Love planning the garden with Bob.  It is especially fun to start thinking in January of the garden.  He likes to start plants inside.  Beans, potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini and beets to name a few.  Everything taste better home grown.  So come May we grow impatient and start some plants.  Little by little we get them all bought and planted.  Now we wait.  Our garden is usually two weeks later when it comes time to produce.  This year is no different.  The first tomato is always the best.  I sneak out and dig a few potatoes.  We watch the pumpkins grow bigger every day.  Finally it's time to pick beans.  The extra beans get frozen for soups in the winter.  Nice first picking.  I did it alone.  Second picking is done.  There are at least 10 bags frozen now.  I start picking beans for supper three nights in a row.  Bob is now helping me.  When he planted beans he waited two weeks and planted more.  We are over run with beans.  He says the more you pick, the more they produce.  Well, I am done with beans.  I do beans daily.  We eat then and freeze extra every day.  Is there no end in sight?  Free beans at my house....
