I wonder if I'll come up with more! Home canned beans are something every homesteader should make! I've got a fold up mini-tramp that fits under the bed. I just leave mine out upstairs in the big room.

I too, love my own canned beans. They are way better than store bought. I need to exercise more. I want one of the little trampolines but don't know where I would put it. :(becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386096058136077226.post-47119398352247833892014-03-20T09:02:44.331-07:002014-03-20T09:02:44.331-07:00Hi Nancy!

The baby goats aren't due until this summer!

Makes the kitchen nice and warm! That's why I can beans during the cold season. They all sealed; in fact I don't think I've ever had one that didn't! Just follow Pick Your Own blog and you shouldn't have any trouble!<br />The does are just now getting pregnant! They are due in July-August. I didn't know for sure if they are; that's why I asked. Yes, the utters are a good clue! I will! Hope you have blossoms soon!

Tried cooking and freezing them but I didn't like the smell so I just used the canned kidney beans. I love homemade bread. You sure do get a lot done! I hope you have some baby goats soon.

If your does are due in a month - they might get bigger. One sign would be that their utters will "bag" up too. Keep checking their utters. They might only be single pregnancies. Can't wait for blossoms here. Have a great rest of the week. Blessings.Dicky Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536124018936958985noreply@blogger.com
