I only planted 3 plants, and have already gotten 2 quarts of beans from those three.

Oops.

I'm the only one in my household who eats green beans, but I had a craving for some. Now I have 12 bean plants, with most starting to flower.....I'm going to have to learn how to freeze them, aren't I?

Freezing Green Beans is very simple. Get a pot of water boiling throw in the cleaned, trimmed, and snapped beans. After the water returns to boiling, continue for 3 minutes.

Pour into colander to drain. I usually also roll them up in paper towels to make sure to get them as dry as possible. Then put into freezer container or seal a meal type bag. Toss into the freezer.

PS. Left out a step: After you have the beans in a colander, plunge them into icewater to prevent overcooking. Then continue as noted in my previous post.
