Bean Harvest

This year we planted three types of beans to be dried - Coco Rubico, Great Northern, and Jacob's Cattle.  Since Jason was out of town and I had a lot of lonely time after Ivy went to bed, I started harvesting the beans and emptying the shells. 

Here I've started emptying some of the shells.  shown here are only the Jacob's Cattle bean harvest.  I've only now started the Great Northern, and I'm letting the Coco Rubico continue to dry, as we recenlty had some rain.

 

Here is the harvest after all the pods have been emptied. 

And, finally, here is the harvest ready to use in a canister.
