They used to just string them up and hang near the heat source 😁

not going to happen here! :) the box flats dry well enough i don't have to go through the extra time of stringing and hanging and there really isn't a single source of heat as the furnace provides the heat via several vents.

i did turn up the heat and put the flats in a few spots where some air flows happen better than other places but it isn't enough to cover all the flats at once. after a while i rotated the flats to give all of them some time to dry with the heat on them.

usually i can tell just by feel if they're going to be ok or not and when i'm picking i discard some ends that have been dragging too much in the mud as i know the beans in those will be sprouting or rotting already. once in a while i'll miss something and find a bit of white mold starting, but that isn't too often.

today has been a day of mostly rains and heavy at times but going through quick. it's currently a big swirly spinning around and we're going to be getting yet more rounds of rains.

it would have been a good day to sleep but i didn't get much of that done as i had a few projects to finish. those are done now. :)
