Last year I had a glut of french beans and put a load in the freezer which
hasn't been a success. Hoping to get as many this year if I can find a good
way of freezing them, any sugestions please.

We freeze a lot of french and runner beans each year. We pick the pods
while they are very young and tender and we freeze them immediately
after picking. We don't blanch them, but we do slice them, then we pack
them flat into freezer bags. That way they are neither stringy, tough
nor mushy when we use them, and it gives us 12 months supply of our own
organic grown beans any time we want them.
