SEARCHING SUCCESS
Finally I have searching success in my attempt to find butter beans. Yes, you did read that correctly. I have finally found butter beans– green ones. I should be able to get the colored or speckled ones next week or the week after.
I did get a bushel of peas in Wallace for my MIL and 1 for us. Those selling butter beans at the Wallace Flea Market wanted $40.00/bushel for beans. That is more than I am willing to pay. I did pay $25/bushel in Rose Hill at Teachey’s Farm Produce. I bought 1 bushel for my MIL and 3 bushels for us.
I shelled the peas yesterday afternoon and finished them last night and DD shelled a half bushel of beans. We then started working on another bushel of beans and shelled maybe half of those, which means I still have about 2 bushels of beans to shell by myself as she is going out of town this week-end.
I was up until about 12:45 last night and had to be to work at 7:45 this morning, I am tired and have alot of work to be done before I can go to bed tonight, so I really need some very strong energy pills to give me the stamina I need to finish shelling those beans.
I could have gotten them shelled for $30./bushel, but being the weird creature that I am I wanted to shell them myself.
