We've picked some ...great looking beans, Anita. We've picked some today, but not nearly as many. Then we did drastically reduce the size of our garden this year, but still have more cukes than 2 people can eat. Some tomatoes are ripening and we also have green peppers. I've tried blanching and freezing beans in past years when we did have an overflow crop, but when taken out for use they were quite soggy and useful only in winter soups.Beatrice P.

We were disappointed (but fascinated, too) at how they gradually turn green as you cook them.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575140898505901920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-30433038667679516942012-07-07T03:22:08.493-04:002012-07-07T03:22:08.493-04:00Wow - those beans look delicious!

(We used to get given ones by our neighbour, but only towards the end of their season, when they had gone hard and stiff and had developed a nasty silver skin. Obviously our neighbours didn't like them that way, and I didn't like them till I was given some tender, young, fresh ones by another friend!) But I didn't believe the southern way of cooking vegetables till I saw it. Cook out all the goodness and replace it with salty, fatty, nastiness. I'm baffled by that.Briarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242731014996459484noreply@blogger.com
