How did they compare to sabres? Size, taste, more flesh less seeds? Inquiring minds want to know. I would plant only one of them next year.

I’ll have to tell you next season - the chippies destroyed ALL the Sabres (4) that I started. It was too late to start more.

I should’ve taken that as a SIGN as to what this season was going to be like all the way around, LOL!

I will start/hopefully grow both Sabelka and Sabre next season.

I did get even MORE green beans picked today and I found at least 20 usable tomatoes and a few more bell peppers for another double batch of Salsa, as well as ‘Chef’s Choice Black’ and more of the ‘Harvard Square’ for slicing and BLTs this weekend. The lone ‘Cherokee Purple’ has perfect fruit and perfect foliage, but is still rock-hard and green right now. The SECOND I see her ‘blushing at the shoulders’ I’m picking them all for ripening inside!

Weather here is cooler than cool (60’s and 70’s in August?!?) and only random showers in the forecast. They’ve done the forth (and final) cutting of alfalfa hay and Junior Farmer Ryan was just through with the hay tedder (fluffer) so they should be bailing tomorrow.

All of the field crops look fantastic this season which bodes well for all the dairy cows in the ‘hood! :)
