Never sick of hearing about my favorite veggies.
Thanks so much for watching Christine !
Mmmm looks good i like the short cut 👍👍🥰🥰
Sure seems to save some time once you get used to doing it...
Oh Tina, all those beans…. Hope mark helps you! I love your trick! Brilliant!!!❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
LOL... He would be glad to hear that, since I am inside in the AC and he is out in the heat building an electric fence for the corn... I bet he'd love to trade places about now... ahahaha In truth, we get more done when we are not always trying to do everything together...
And that is just from the extra garden. Wow!
LOL... It always seems to go like that... Better yields from the side garden than the main... ahahaha
We tried the Jade bean this year. Must have been good because our neighborhood rabbit ate them all! Thankfully we had a bunch on trellises!
Jade is a really good bean... Very consistent production... And yes, we get rabbits in ours too... LOL
Beautiful bean harvest.
Thank you kindly !
Enjoyed it thx for sharing Be safe God Bless
Thanks so much for your support, as always, Larry !
Great harvest. I like your method. It seems easier.
Thanks 👍 It sure seems to save me a lot of time !
Your beans are beautiful. I’ve never eaten the yellow. Perhaps I can plant some for next spring.
God Bless
They taste very similar to green beans... If they were mixed and you were blindfolded, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference... They are sometimes called yellow beans, or wax beans...
Love the snap of fresh beans 🤤
Yes ! I do too !
It's a beautiful miracle.. That's all I can say!!
Thank you Ana !
Ms. Tina, you’re videos just make me smile. You’re a natural! (When I first started watching your channel, you seemed so shy and always had Mr. Mark on camera.) ❤️
You’ve definitely grown where you’re planted! Proud of you!
Thank you so much for your kind words !
As a 40 yr hair dresser, scissors are my best friend. I just hold my green beans in bulk with the vine ends together and snip those ends into the bucket then snip the handful in 3rds onto my freezing tray and flash freeze. So oooooo much faster.
Thank you for your tips on the green beans. Do you have any videos on cucumbers?
Wow what a neat tip. Fold and cut once. Why didn’t I think of that. 😃
It really helps it go fast, but everyone seems to have their own way of doing things....
Great technique. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Karen ! Really appreciate your continued support !
LOVE THIS!!! Working SMART and not hard! So easy
thanks for sharing this
You're so welcome!
Great tip for cutting the beans..
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
Thank you! You too!
I'm finally getting in lots of Cherokee yellow wax beans my favorite bean and they produce till first frost and I planted purple pole beans also this year and im seeing lots of them growing cant wait to harvest some love yall
Sounds like a plan ! Glad you found something that does well for you in your area !
I love fresh green beans. Great video Tina. God Bless Y'all.
Thank you so much ! You too !
Snapping them in half is genius
It sure makes them go faster !
Hey Tina and Mark, I am eating Expresso therapy ice cream for my Birthday party with me myself and I . Delicious 😋 .
Seems like Dejavoo with the Green Beans, time goes so Fast 😠.
Did you know there is a Been Bush that is called trio. It actually grows Green, Yellow and Purple, Amazing!
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
I have not seen that, it sounds amazing !
I have been blanching, but this looks so much easier I will try it instead.
I think you will find they hold their texture and taste much better this way too...
Beautiful harvest Ms Tina! I never tried freezing, we always canned everything.
Question: how long do you steam them to serve, and do you let them thaw first? Thank you and God bless you and Mark!
I usually start taste testing them for firmness at around 15 min... And I get the steamer rolling before I add them...
That's a great harvest😀 thanks for sharing the process for freezing. Will be doing that here if we have enough for the freezer. Have a wonderful Sunday❤
Sounds great! Hope you get plenty!
Thats amazing, I was happy with my 1 pound harvest until I saw yours.
Believe me, nothing wrong with a 1 pound harvest... Last year, we lost our entire spring planting and I would have loved to have gotten a pound... We recovered with a Fall planting, but even it struggled...
Are the beans pole beans or bush beans? We didn’t plant a garden this year because we’re selling our house and thought we’d plant a garden at our new house, but we haven’t even put our house on the market yet, it’s very frustrating, let this be a lesson to everyone, plant a garden no matter what and if you move the new owners will have a wonderful feast.
Great advice ! They are both (green and yellow wax) bush varieties...
I’m jealous of your beans lol. That’s exactly how I put mine up. I’m just starting to get them coming on. Harvested my first handful last night. I only have a 3’ x3’ bed of bush beans right now. Hope to get more planted this week.
Good luck ! Remember when you do your final pick to leave the roots in the ground so they can give back the nitrogen they have stored... You can plant right in and around them...
I freeze mine the same way.
Awesome! Hope you have a great year!
Im LEARNING here how to freeze green beans. Brussels... etc. I was TOLD by friends who have been preserving fresh veggies most of their lives that you MUST blanche. And vac seal the bags after. MY EXPERIENCE... I blanched and proceeded to dry beans and put in vac seal bags. The food saver would not seal. Due to the moisture it was sucking out. IRRITATING! I just put the fresh dried off beans in the bags and sealed them. Im GLAD AND THANKFUL that the beans I did will hold up just freezing w/o blanching. THANK YOU
Really, corn is about the only thing where blanching is really super beneficial....
When you decide to eat some of these, do you just open the bag, take out
what you need, reseal the bag, and put back in the freezer?
I see your vegetable store still offers plastic bags.😲 Maine went paper only
July 1st. Which is fine, as long as I remember to take our reusable bags. lol
Really nice haul and that bean cutting trick was just awesome.
TYFS Tina, Mark and Rosa
Yes... I can just dip into the bags as needed... They do not seem to freezer burn when they have salt in the holding water (before washing)....
Great video ❣️How much salt did you use in soaking your beans Tina?
LOL... Probably too much... I didnt really measure... But I did add about 4 handfuls of canning salt... The water was pretty salty...
Sounds good🤗
Sounds good🤗
How big is one of you bean garden bed that you get that much beans...
They are from the emergency garden we planted to have extras to share... There are 2 rows of green, and 2 rows of yellow, each about 30' long...
How long can you keep them in the freezer?
We try to use the freezer stuff in about 6 months, and the canned in about a year... I am sure they both keep longer though...
I hope I get enough this year to freeze maybe a dozen bags.
This was the first picking from that garden... I am hoping for about a dozen bags as well... And then be able to can from the Fall garden...
@@BumbleBeeJunction I went out this evening before the thunderstorm rolled in here in Knoxville. My Jade beans are covered with blooms and my purple bush beans are covered with itty bitty baby beans. A few more days
Question: my mother always said she was gonna pick a mess of beans for supper. So, do you prepare an entire gallon for a "mess" or do you just take out what you want and put the bag back in the freezer. I have a few rattlesnake green beans and greasy grit beans plants and since we don't eat alot of beans at a meal wondered if I could freezer mine like that...if I get enough that is.
Yes... We just open the bag and grab what we need... Let them stand and dry for a while before freezing so they are easier to break apart later once frozen...
What do the yellow beans taste like? I have never tried or seen those. Wish I was there I love to snap beans.
They are sometimes called wax beans, not sure why... They are very similar to green beans in flavor, especially when cooked together (blindfolded, most people could not tell them apart)... We know many people have not eaten them, but we have never come across a green bean lover that did not like yellow wax beans once they tried them...
Can you can the frozen ones in case of power outage
Yes, I would think you could... Since they are not blanched, they keep their firm texture... I would say they would hold up well to canning if you had to, especially since beans dont have a long processing time...
Jealous of the harvest! Just picked some radishes and will pick zucchini tomorrow. Corn is growing strong. Having a bit of a problem with my bell peppers. One plant has already died and a few more have black spots on them....
Might try backing off on any nitrogen, try to water evenly, and maybe add some epsom salt...
@@BumbleBeeJunction thanks, will do
Did not know you could freeze them without blanching.
Yes... Blanching is more for things like corn that have that enzyme that caused them to prematurely break down... Beans do not have this....
@@BumbleBeeJunction Thank You
When you left your beans over night covered in ice and salt, how much salt?
