Granny's gone and done it again

Canned 10 pints of green beans today. Thankful that I'm finally getting some. A blight is wreaking havoc on the plants. Just need about 25 pints for us & then 4 cases of 12 for the grandkids. I'm up to 15 for us lol. Made 15 jars of seedless wild blackberry jelly this afternoon. There is so many berries that will go to waste. I have never seen the berries so thick in the 23 years that we've lived here.

my gr beans just started producing last week. Vickie picked 5 or 6 grocery bags full. I just blanched in heavly salted water and then tipped/tailed and froze that way.
 
Well, its gonna happen and we will deal with problems as they come. Im sure you will hear a lot of fussing from me but they are mine. Not some lady that knows how to fry chicken. I imagine Tom and Robert both will be in their rooms like they always are and I will have a chance to teach them some manners and rules. I hope that it isnt too long before they are reunited with their parents but I will do the best I can til I cant.
That's a good attitude. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
 
:drool do you just water bath the green beans ?? Or use a pressure canner ??
I broke down & bought a new pressure cooker this summer, got tired of only being able to can 7 pints at a time. Then you have to wait for it to cool in order to do another batch. Plus my other one didn't hold quart jars. Have used it for many years, it has bought & paid for itself over & over lol.
