I actually miss shelling beans in the evenings. :\
So, have you thought about pistachios? :rolleyes:

The last soybean ("Seneca") was shelled yesterday. Now I started shelling out this year's "Painted Mountain" seed corn, so at least I don't have to go cold turkey. :lol: That alone will take 2-3 days by hand. I had originally planned to grow "Gaspe"... maybe next year.

i do too when it is all done, but sometimes i'm willing to mix some beans back together so i can sort them out again. i like the tactile feedback it gives me to run my hands through beans in box tops. :) and i also like the visual aspects of the colors, patterns and shapes... i'm not completely done yet, but getting close, the last box of PD beans i've almost finished and if i get out tomorrow to pick more Venda i can have those in my queue to get shelled sometime when i can get around to it.

I heard that many farmers Here were waiting for today's rain bc the soybeans are too dry.
Ever heard of that?!?!?

Yeah and there are peanuts too. Well how about fortune cookies LOL. Maybe you could jump a plane and take a ride over to Artorious's house. Well, I got the last of the shelling done this morning. I know what you mean. It does become a part of the daily routine for almost two months for me. I've been doing most of my shelling right when I get up each day. Yesterday was the very last of roto-tilling of bean growing ground. Time to do a bit of house cleaning and then bean photo taking. The Big Bean show will be coming next.

Gaspe is a great variety. Just ask my squirrels.
