Do as your husband wishes.

He'll know whether he was right or not in 9 months time, when
he comes to eat them.

Or you could blanch half of them on the sly, and offer to sell
them to your husband after he finds out the hard way.

In theory, blanching destroys natural enzymes which cause deterioration
in frozen vegetable tissue the longer it's frozen.

However, maybe this is all wrong. Or maybe the people who don't bother
with
blanching don't actually store their frozen vegetables long enough for it
to make a difference. Maybe.

As in many things, I'd imagine relevant experience is probably the best
guide.

Husband here !
Do as I wish - I wish !!!
I tend to agree with Jane, especially as I prefer my veg on the firm side
anyway.
Picking and freezing day tomorrow.
I may try blanching a couple of the later pickings (some not quite ready
yet) just for comparison purposes.
I will report in several weeks time.
