I WANT ONE TOO!

Posted on August 6, 2009 Categories: Barnyard, Goats 5

It’s canning time here on the urban homestead.

Yesterday was a warm one so I decided once again to can a little later in the evening – about the time Jordanne let’s the goats out to hang out with the humans.

Water’s on the stove, glass jars heating in the stove and green beans from the garden and into the jars for a simple easy dilly beans

Jordanne brings the goats and after Fairlight noses the cabinets to check for any booze (yeah she like beer!)  Finding it dry,  she turns to check out what I’m doing

Blackberry also wants in on the action

“Could I have a bean please.”  I can’t resist that face so

Here’s a bean for you Blackberry!


MMMMmm good.

“Don’t forget me!”

Crunch

Another one?

Hey, lady, don’t forget me again!

Dilly bean ready for the water bath

Done!

Fairlight enjoys some of the leftover beans that were too old to pickle

And Blackberry looks up at me with those big eyes of hers.  Sorry Blackberry there’s no more beans!

OK but don’t feel sorry for her because she had plenty of food to nibble on – oak, banana and sugar cane leaves and a few tomatoes (that are destined to be tomato sauce today!)  She know’s she’s cute and uses it!

    I used to feed my horse stout as a treat, it is supposed to be good for them in small doses.
