Even today, I love snapping my green beans (even though they come from the farmer's market or the grocery store instead of our backyard garden). <br />There's something very satisfying about the sound and then the drop into the pan.

Garden fresh, organic and we didn't even know it. Perhaps our moms and grandmas liked those time because they could rest and "be useful."

You are right, we barely have the time to grab and cook the frozen variety nowadays. He spent hours cultivating, watering and picking them himself from his garden as well. And boy did he make a delicious "black eyed pea" soup!
