Mr. Native Farmer decided to bring home some Yellow Wax Beans. I decided to store them since we didn't need to eat that many beans at once.
First step was to soak them to get the grime and muck off them.
Then I had some helpers come in for the end snapping part of the process. Penelope is showing Calliope how to snap the ends off! Such a good helper!
After we were done we were left with a pot full of shells (went to the worms), a handful of beans (which I saved for seed), and two small sandwich sized bags of "green" beans.
I took the more colorful ones and decided to see if they would ripen.
Not too bad, after about 2 weeks...
More seed saving coming up all this week! Happy Homesteading!
