The first picking of great northern beans happened yesterday while I was at work. As soon as I got home, Nanny called and said that she had already cooked them, and that I should come get some for supper. I hurried across the road with a bowl.
I'd never had fresh great northern beans, only the dried kind. Nanny had cooked them only with salt and pepper for seasoning(no bacon or ham). Man, oh man...they were delicious! We had them with some of Nanny's cucumber relish, meat loaf, baked sweet potato fries, and sliced tomatoes. Mmmmmmmm...!
Nanny think there'll be one more picking. I wish I'd planted more. Next year, I'm doubling the great northern bean crop!
