Our garden was small this year, just a small patch of pole green beans. This was the first time we tried pole beans and I loved them, no more crawling along in the dirt to pick the beans. Even with this small of a patch I was able to can 77 pints of green beans. We also have tomatoes they are big plants and we are now getting some ripe ones now that it is late September and early Oct. We get a large bowl full when we pick but I won't be canning any this year, I still have a lot left from last year.
