Also today, I harvested my first batch of the Romano Bush Beans. They are a flat bean, with bulges. I picked about one and half pounds of them. I had thought I might be able to can a jar of dilly beans as I did the pickles, but there were more beans on the bushes than I thought and so I was able to can three jars of dilly beans. The dill came from my garden also.
I first tried dilly beans last Fall and loved them so much that I made a batch over February vacation with store-bought green beans. I also made a version of them with my class this Spring as we studied life on the home front of World War II. The students loved them and they were easy to make with the group.

I've heard dilly beans are *wonderful*. They sure look yummy in their jar. :D
The dilly beans do look scrumptious! As do the bread and butter pickles.
Our tomatoes are in. Lots and lots of cherry tomatoes. And Gregg bought a yellow cherry tomato plant - the tomatoes are pear shaped, but the size of a cherry tomato. And very mild and sweet in taste. Neither of us remember the name of the plant.
We are looking forward to seeing you and Matthew in Michigan.
Love you, Debi
Aha! I goggled it and came up with the name for our small yellow tomatoes. They are yellow pear tomatoes and her is picture of exactly what they look like.

You've been incredibly industrious. Where are you storing all these jars? Cellar? Don't they need to be out of the sun?
