It was final bean harvest day for the green beans, yellow beans, and dragon tongue beans in the main garden today. We like to eat the multi-colored dragon tongue beans "green". They can be left to develop larger seeds, but I like them quite young. After picking I get them ready to freeze by taking off the ends of each bean, putting them in boiling water for 2 minutes to blanch them, then immediately freeze them on trays. When they are frozen, I package them with my home vacuum sealing Foodsaver, and save them for winter eating.
Below are pictures of the bean plants as I picked the beans, and the harvest from three types of beans.
