garden beans

 

Our garden is doing fantastic this year.   We had early rains and they gave it a great start and now we are reaping the rewards.  The Grandkids harvested the potatoes this year for us.  We plant potatoes using the Ruth Strout method by placing our seed potatoes under a thick layer of mulch and they grow.  And when the potatoes are ready to harvest,  we rake the mulch back and  the kids pick up potatoes and drop them in the harvest baskets, easy peasy.   Also we get our grandkids to pick green beans, since it can be monotonous sometimes and extra hands help.  Plus they love being in the garden, especially during strawberry time.

And to make the best use of our fresh green beans and potatoes we used this slow cooker green beans and potatoes recipe.  It’s super easy and has all the flavor that we remember at grandma’s house.   Plus it was a great reward for the children to enjoy and eat what they picked from the garden.    We served these with skillet fried pork chops but this is delicious with just about anything.
