    day but got it done.

    i'm calling it $100 jam because that is about how
    much i'd charge if i were selling it. not that many
    jars and a lot of work. price in terms of actual
    costs of materials might be $0.60 - $1.00 per pint.
    have to find room in the freezer this evening.

    on to bean planting...

    My beans are all up now , and they're starting to run . It appears
    they like the cage trellises I'm using this year - and I've got 3/4 the
    number of plants as last year in about 1/3 the space .
