Grow Your Own Green Beans
by Catherine Olivia
There's nothing
quite like the pleasure of growing, harvesting and eating your own
vegetables. Absolutely nothing can be fresher than vegetables that
you grow yourself. My family always had a small garden and we grew
tomatoes and peppers, some lettuce and eggplant. This year we added
green beans to our list of vegetables. My husband and I love them
and I found them a "snap" to grow, freeze and cook. We decided on a pole variety of green beans for our garden. Pole green
bean varieties produce for a longer season than do bush varieties.
We grew the variety of pole beans called Kentucky Wonder. It was our
first year and we were pleased with the amount of harvest that we had
from this particular bean. I think that next year we'll try a colored
bean, but I wanted to grow Kentucky Wonder this year as they remind
me of fresh green beans we had as kids. All colored green beans, ones
that are gold or yellow or purple, have the same taste as green beans.
When we harvested the beans I froze what I couldn't cook within a
few days. I found that freezing worked well for me. It was easy as
all it required was a pot to boil water, a bowl of ice water and freezer
bags. We have quite a few string beans in the freezer now, more than
enough to last us through for several months. Perhaps next year I'll
consider canning them. Where frozen green beans are good up to 18 months
some experts say that properly canned green beans last up to five years
(due to the fact that they are low-acid) although I don't think I'd
want to eat them if they're that old. Canning is relatively simple
but requires a lot more equipment than freezing does.
Of course the
best thing about growing your own green beans is eating them. My
husband's favorite green bean recipe is very simple, they're boiled
in chicken stock. Boiled, boiled and boiled. Most "gourmets" will
tell you not to overcook green beans. This recipe simmers the beans
for at least 45 minutes. I drain them add butter, salt and pepper to
taste. I don't think that I'll be using any of my frozen green beans
in the Thanksgiving green bean casserole though. Store bought canned
or frozen string beans work just fine in that recipe. I'll save my
home grown green beans for recipes where they'll really shine through.
