- We have had so many beans on our plants, but what can we do with them?. I have had quite a few questions regarding how this is done!
In todays video we explain freezing green beans in the first of a serious of videos on how to preserve your produce.
Runner beans and French beans are quite closely related and as this is there optimum harvest time we kick off the serious with these and how to go about blanching green beans.
So if you want to enjoy the taste of summer through the winter months and how to freeze green beans this is the video for you!

Brilliant Vid Mrs W - a runner bean star is born
Thanks Sally, there will be many other ways we will show how to preserve your harvests!
Thank you Barry and Mrs W especially for the freezing method.
Thanks James, we had such a response on preserving veg and fruit that we felt it would be a good series! It seems to be going well so hopefully we shall make more!
Great video! Mrs W is a natural 😉
Thankyou Sasha! Mrs W reads all the comments on the channel and will is very happy that our community are liking the content!
Great demo. I'm glad to know we are freezing our beans exactly the same method. Mrs W needs some screen time. 😀
Hi Ken thanks she reads all the comments and is very pleased with yours and everyone's comments. We are filming more which shall be released over the next couple of months. I'm glad you and Mrs J are doing yours the same way cause that means we must be doing something right!
Hi great video. I do this but I put ice in with the cold water so I don’t have to change the water. Brilliant video to share. When I started I didn’t have a clue. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the chutney video 😊
Hi Nikki, good to hear from you! Great addition of the ice and will speed the cooling up! We hope to make the chutney version over the coming weekend!
Great video on green beans. Hopefully we will hear and maybe see Mrs W soon on some more of the NDNG videos
Hi Lewis, I hope so too! But she is a little reluctant to actually appear. At least we get to hear her ways of preserving all our veg and fruit that we grow so we waste as little as possible!
Congratulations on a wonderful video about freezing beans. It was very straight forward & easy to understand, thank you!
Hi Clare, thankyou for your kind comment! I hope you have many beans that you will be able to enjoy long into the winter months!
A great demonstration by your wife, I hope she shows us how she makes other preserves.
Hi Brenda thankyou! Mrs W will be pleased she was a little apprehensive about making videos and lovely comments like this will spur her on - we hope to make the chutney version over the weekend!
Hi Barry, a big thank you to Mrs W for giving up her time to show us how she does her green beans. Very helpful indeed and all beans are picked and in freezer. Do you freeze your cabbage that you grow and how do you do that.. Also can I ask are you growing blackberries in your garden and if so will you be doing a video on pruning as mine are going mad at the moment and growing long shoots everywhere.
Thanks Bev
Hi Beverley, We shall be doing a video later in the year when the time is right on pruning our blackberry and yes you can freeze cabbage!
@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 thank you
Great 👍 I'm your new friend dear
Hi, so glad you liked this video!
Thanks for this, very useful I'm giving it a go xx
Thank you for your kind words! I'm so happy to hear that you found it helpful. Good luck, and let me know how it turns out!
Hi. Really interesting video. My wife freezes beans in exactly the same way. I was amazed by the crop of beans you have been getting. What is your secret?. This year has been one of my poorest for both runners and French beans. Although I have been watering on a regular basis I have put the poor harvest down to the heat? Do you feed your beans with anything special. So impressed.
Hi Trever, good to hear from you! Being no dig we don't feed any of our crops in the veg beds other than the annual application of compost. They did get off to a slow start but I think that the water in the soil from earlier in the year has been held there by the compost layer rather than evaporating. Also we grew a variety that is British and cross bred with a French bean which do not have problems producing like the runners. All of this has resulted in the harvest you see. Thanks for your kind comment and I hope you keep watching into next year when we start another season so you will see what we are growing and how. Later in the year I we shall reveal what varieties of veg we shall be growing!
Very useful thank you 😊
Thanks Jackie!
Great video, this year my harvest much worse than last year
Fingers crossed will start to improve
All my French beans seem to be short bush plants, which variety have you grown?
Hi Hilary, glad you liked the video! Sorry to hear that your harvest is worse than last year. You may have grown bush plants. We have grown climbing French Beans called Cobra and they produce in abundance!
I love the trellis! I have tons of beans, bush and pole and im literally overwhelmed with the amount…we have two fridges and three freezers and im out of space…i dont let my beans get as large as yours however
Hi, thank you for your kind comment! We like to pick them when around 6" long and like you we have a similar amount of fridges and freezers!
Very helpful, thank you. Could you please help me with how I differentiate between runner beans and stringy runner bean please?
Hi, welcome to our channel! Mrs W says that it is a difficult question to answer because some varieties are stringier than others, but as a general rule if they are over a centimeter wide or the beans are really large then just use a potato peeler to take away the edge on both sides which could be stringy!
@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 That's helpful thank you.
I have another question please if that's okay. When you grow what I now believe are French Beans, (ie, they look like very small runner beans). If you leave these growing for a long time do they grow as big as runner beans?
I'm a complete novice at the moment and had never grown any beans until this summer so there's much for me to learn.
@@christinancarroll3618 No not as big, but they will get very fat as the beans swell and not so good. As with all beans best to pick young and every other day unless of course you want beans!

Thanks for dropping by! If you have more to add, I'm all ears!
