I'm coming to live there!
Just think how healthy I would be if I ate your home grown food instead of the cherry pinapple dump cake I am eating right now at 8am.
If you have never tried it, here is a web with the recipe;

Hi Pam, I have never seen a pressure canner before!I suppose here we never have a glut of anything worth doing anything with.In the cold of winter when you open a can of your beans you will be able to relive summer days.
Best wishes
I agree, it's a great feeling to see those jars of vegetables you grew, picked and canned yourself. Thanks for naming my flower. I've always wondered what a may pop was. I'll be watching it to see what happens.
The sight really makes me happy. They look simply delicious, and must be great to taste as well.
Mmmm those look good! What kind are they?
I love the pic of the garden - beautiful! How wonderful... those jars of peas!
You guys are about 2 weeks ahead of us--in all the produce. Wegot our first mess of green beans today and we will be eating them for supper with our planned menu. They are always so good. Next week, I will begin canning beans. Mike did dig our potatoes todat, though. We only plant 6 hills--small space and no storage for veggies--tried our crawl space one year and everything froze--not good. So we just plant what we can use up. I have canned potatoes but they are not cheap to run. I always raw pack green beans. Usually add onions or/and garlic or /and dill--sometimes pickle spice. I also prefer smaller beans and can them whole, using wide-mouth jars. I'm a rebel that way!!LOL
What an amazing garden! It's more the size of a truck garden! Those beans look very good!
CONGRATULATIONS. We are just praying we get a meal out of our garden. If it doesn't rain there is not much hope.
You must save heaps of money by doing this yourself. I picture those beans with a nice steak or with a crispy salad, yummy.
Those look great Pam...getting all set for winter huh?
Why wait?
If I come by for a visit, will you open up one of those jars just for me???
(Please??)
I haven't tried pressure canning yet. What size if you canner?
I need help! I'm a northern gal with southern roots. My mom and dad were both born and raised in East Tennessee and moved to Minnesota back in the early 50's. They always gardened and we had green beans that Mom canned. I don't recall her ever using a pressure canner. She just cooked her beans good and long with side pieces of bacon and then canned them in a water bath. Is this a safe method? We never got sick doing this....but what exactly is the best way to do this, (I don't want to invest the money in a pressure canner first of all) and how exactly do you can southern style green beans? Is there a good recipe? I want that flavor I miss so much from my childhood. My parents are deceased now and a lot of good recipes (and wonderful gardening memories) went with them. I have recreated mom's soup mix...with tomatoes, onions, carrots, and okra. I use it for chili, beef stew, goulosh, and many other tomato sauced dishes. I just really want those green beans to taste southern. Help me if you're able please! Thanks in advance! Cheryl in MN P.S. I would also love a good corn bread recipe...she used a cast iron skillet, bacon drippings...and it wasn't a sweet corn bread. I can't find a good recipe for that either!
Jules that cake sound good!
Peggy, you are right. In the winter those beans will be so good.
Dot, I can't wait until you see the maypop.
Nilz, they do taste real good.
Paula, they are roma beans.
Petula, the garden has been a blessing this year.
Linda, I sometimes use a little pickle mix with vinegar in my beans too. Yours sound great.
Coast rat, the garden is not as big as it looks in the pictures.
Andrea, I hope the rain gets going too.
Nunyaa,it will save some money. I hope a lot of money the way food prices are going up.
Judy,yes getting ready with lots of canning and freezing.
Twinville, you bet. Come on over.
Christy, the canner is a 7 quart canner. It can hold 7 quarts but I usually only put in 6 quart jars.
Cheryl, I don't know about the water bath on beans. I have always used the pressure canner on green beans.
Cheryl, email me at gacountrygirl75@gmail.com and I will send you the recipe I use for canning green beans and the cornbread recipe I use.
I make soup like you do, isn't it good?
