Right.

I should make the most of this lull in the rain, and go pick green beans. I won't get another chance until Tuesday, and it will be too late by then...

Omyfuckingod. My #GreenBean problem is getting worse...
@stib #TooManyBeans (I've picked something in the realm of 4kg this week, and we cannot consume beans at this rate.)
@ghost_shit
I didn't plant any this year...
Are you going to:
Give away?
Blanch and freeze?
Preserve?
Panic????
@stib

@AnnonBudgie All of the above, and maybe other options: I'm wondering if I can put them in my fuel tank, or use them to somehow repair rotting decking. The possibilities are endless!

@stib

@ghost_shit
My neighbours are saying no more tomatoes please...
I have 4kg frozen in 200gm containers (use instead of tinned tomatoes)
But there are 2kg sitting on my bench taunting me..
I don't want to make passata or preserve them (no time)

@stib

@AnnonBudgie I hear that: my preferred preservation methods are #fermenting and/or #dehydrating: ain't got time/space for bottling/canning, even though I'm only sporadically employed at the moment.

@stib

@ghost_shit
Normally I'd be well up for preserving and fermenting.. but not this year

Dehydrating is another go to .. but I need a better outdoor location for next summer
Dehydrating is not an indoor hobby!
@stib

@AnnonBudgie I bought a 6-shelf electric dehydrator during the depths of the lockdowns, so I'm kinda cheating.

@ghost_shit I have a 5/6 tray electric one too...
But no AC so I prefer to run it outside as it heats the surrounds too much

I need a new patio cover
