Just pulled about two store-sized cans worth of green beans out of the
garden. They're really productive, as the package said. I don't think
we're going to eat them as fast as they grow, so what can I do about long
term storage? We have a right (big big pot) for canning tomatoes, but no
pressure cooker.


Legumes will dry out and form beans if left on the plant
longer. I wonder if this breed will form some type of
beans that are okay dried.

Can they be frozen and keep for a few months?


I believe so. Blanche and fast freeze.
