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.

Rained hard about 2 miles from my house - but not so much here. Rumbly and lightening - but no wet stuff yet.

it has rained steady yesterday and due for some more rains today but nothing yet. i'm not picking any more beans or doing any gardening at this rate but that is how it can go. patience grasshopper...
