Beans In Production

Susan Schmidlin

The whole family loves green beans. We enjoy fresh ones right off the plant, make simple stir fry recipes with tons of green beans, lightly saute with garlic and a crumble of bacon, I could go on and on.

We also like to have quite a bit of beans frozen so that we can savor the summer flavor all winter long.two gallon bags of green beans ready for the freezer.

This last picking gave us enough green beans for two meals plus two gallon sized bags to be put into the freezer for wintertime.

Usually we go through about 10 of these gallon bags a year so I will have to make sure to keep the beans irrigated and picked every couple of days to ensure that the harvest will continue for several more weeks.
