July 26

Yesterday, July 25 Rachel and I spent the day canning beans. I set up two Camp Chef stoves and a makeshift table out of two barrels and a sliding glass door. We ended up canning 71 quart bottles of beans. I only had two bottles break on me.
Here is a closer shot of the canning set-up.

I was also able to get brown PC (pressure controlled) soaker hoses installed on the 3rd and 4th planting of corn. This is working very well. The emitters are spaced every 18" unlike the beans and peas that are a 12" spacing. Both types are 1 gpm. I made a furrow first and installed the hose down the furrow. I will use this on all of the corn in years to come. If I get time I will install the soaker hose on the second planting. The first planting is tasseled out and the ears are forming so I will not worry about it this year.
