i don't have any recent pictures edited and posted yet of
the beans growing but this link should get you to the
section of my bean page which shows most of the interesting
out crosses i'm working with this year. the common named
varieties i have pictures of also in different sections.

https://www.anthive.com/project/beans/#chapter-2.2023

sadly much of these pages need more work than i have time
for right now so i hope my disorganisation isn't too horrid.
:)

if you click on the link of the image there is a larger
image available than the thumbnail size.

Awesome! You do have an eye for the camera.

ha! thank you! i personally feel that i don't really
do that well with the picture taking, but it helps that i
live with a person who has a good eye for decorations and
whimsy so it gives me a lot of potential of getting good
pictures one way or another.

i still really haven't been very happy with the bean
pictures and wish i had a super close up camera that
could take detailed pictures of single beans that i
could just feed through a hopper and it would get the
pictures taken automatically without me having to
fiddle around all the time. :)

been weeding like crazy this past week and still a
ways to go but at least the gardens look a lot better
now than they did a bit ago. i'm so glad that Mom is
able to help out. my normal routine was interrupted
for a month when i was sick and then on top of that
we had such wild rainy weather too often so it was
hard for me to get out until the weeds were too big
for scraping (which is critical for getting things
done easily here). once the weeds get big enough to
need pulling by hand that makes the whole process take
a lot more time. especially when you have thousands
of square feet of garden space and decorations to
keep after.

things are presentable now, but still a lot to do.
one last round of weeding this morning and then lighter
stuff for the afternoon and tomorrow as the weather is
getting hot again.

i did take before pictures so i can take after
shots. most pictures i take i don't post as they are
more for record keeping to remind me of all the things
we get done around here. besides most of the pictures
are just not that interesting. :)

How much bean crop do you get on average? I have a recipe for you!

it varies between 15 - 25 lbs, maybe more when i grow more of
the larger beans. when growing so many Purple Dove beans it
isn't as much as they are a smaller bean.

and then it also depends upon how many we eat fresh vs. what
gets left to dry.

for a completely manual gardening system with not really
enough space it is enough to keep me busy. especially
when i often shell out and look at each individual bean
and sometimes more than once. :)

Yes. Did you like the recipe (posted in RFC). They use standard beans
but a unique approach.

Here it is again so you don't have to hunt for it.


Subj : Nat Baked Beans Month - 5
To : All
From : Dave Drum (1:2320/105)

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Caboose Baked Beans
Categories: Beans, Pork, Fruits, Vegetables, Booze
Yield: 12 Servings

Water
1 lb Dry navy or white pea beans
1 lb Dry great northern beans
1 lb Dry large lima beans
2 tb Maple extract
1 c Light brown sugar; packed
3 tb Brown prepared mustard; as
- bold/spicy as you can find
2 tb Orange marmalade
2 lg Onions; chopped
1 "Big chunk" salt pork
1/2 c Cold strong coffee
1 c Apple butter;plain or spiced
2 c Lloyds-brand shredded pork
- BBQ meat
15 oz Diced, chopped, or stewed
-tomatoes w/onions & peppers
3/4 c Molasses
2 tb Chopped garlic
3/4 c Ketchup
1 tb Seasoned salt
1 tb Black pepper
3/4 c Dark honey; the darker the
- better
1/2 c Meyers dark rum or Jack
- Daniels whiskey
1 c Hickory smoke BBQ sauce
3 tb Worcestershire sauce
1 (2") cinnamon stick

DAY ONE: Pick over the dry beans to remove any dirt,
stones, or other foreign materials. Then in a large (and I
do mean LARGE) pot, rinse the beans. Then bring the beans
to a boil in the large pot after covering them with a lot
of water. They're going to soak up a ton of water and grow
to be about twice as big as they were when dry. Boil them
for two minutes, take them off the heat, cover the pot,
and let them stand for a full hour. After that, put them
back on the stove and simmer on low heat for an hour and a
half, still covered.

Pour the beans and their liquid into a bowl, cover it, and
put it in the refrigerator overnight. Yes, overnight. This
recipe is going to take two days.

DAY TWO: In the morning, drain all but 2 cups of the bean
water.

To the beans and water add all the other ingredents. Mix
very well. Put it all into the crock pot (it may take
several crock pots, depending on how big yours are). Cook
on low setting for 13 to 14 hours. Stir it now and then,
but don't take the lid off very often, as this slows
cooking significantly.

When your long wait is over, sit back and enjoy your pot
of caboose beans, The wait is definitely worth it.

Serves 12

MMMMM

You can ignore any brand names and swap to likely beans of yours and
make your own BBQ pork out of pork butt in a really big crockpot.

didn't see it, been too busy lately.

... thanks but that isn't something we'd make.
smoke flavors, whisky/rum,etc., pepper and other spices
that Mom has no tolerance for at all. :( almost every
commercial bbq sauce puts pepper or hot stuff in their
sauce.

i would give them a try if someone else made them.

Ah, ok. I considered making it without any BBQ smoke flavoring
9 (I don't like it either). For me, it's a 3 day recipe (day one, make
pulled pork and portion then vacuum seal, leaving enough for this dish
and meaty bone. You leave out the pepper (We'd reduce it). Replace
the rum with pork broth or beef broth.
