I canned 18 pints of beans with a few left over from what I picked to cook for lunch today. Living alone I almost never can quarts.

That's a heck of a bunch of beans there. Been picking on my early planted row here for a couple weeks and they are about done. The later row is just now coming in so I'll have fresh beans for another couple weeks. Tomatoes are showing up but won't be ripe for a while. Even have a few hot peppers to pick.

The blueberries are almost done but the wild blackberries are starting to ripen already plus it looks like the wild plums are going to be good this year.

I don't know if your barn is enclosed where you stored the staves but I lost the best osage I ever cut in a closed-up outbuilding, I had the same result storing staves in an attic. These staves were green when I put them up, not dried. I store my bulk staves in a crawlspace under the house now. I keep what I call my "on deck circle" of bow blanks and a few dried staves out in my shop, it is enclosed but well insulated and never gets below freezing in the winter or up to the outside temperature in the summer, it cools off at night in the summer.

Its an old 1800s barn with an upstairs, thats where the staves are. Im going to haul them down. Its never been this hot before. This is crazy. Im worried I may not save some of these and they were perfect. If they are ruined Im not going to the salt flats this year because these staves were for that.

It's hot in Mississippi also but I haven't had that problem.
The days of high temps is also humid, last week 106 for the heat index.
My barn is a metal building with no air coming in.

Osage is what I have
