    Here is how the greenbeans row looks an how the beans turned out for me.

    I like slender young beans for our table. They were a great crop this time, an will be bearing for about a month .
    I pick them soon as possible, as they younger , fresher an softer bean.
    Wash them
    Cut off the ends
    Put into a pan of water and cook till almost done.
    Then I put them into marked freezer bags an into the freezers. I have one freezer an 2 refrigerators, an use all of them.

    Here's how I do it .

    Thanks daisybeans,
    I clean them an cook on the stove in water till tender then freeze an use any way we like.
    We love them in Ham soup, an alone .

    Easy just to freeze an reheat to eat.
    Thanks

    Thats how we eat them , with the ham bone an tators.
    If I am out of beans we use cabbage in them.
    Use lots in Beef soup also.

    Or just plain beans on the plate.
