I was hoping I could dry them after that, but I've had no luck finding out on the internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-14681213744734685832012-07-20T07:11:37.606-06:002012-07-20T07:11:37.606-06:00Sure they can!

When the asparagus gets going, I pickle them as well.

Unless you like to eat green beans daily, lol.... I could do that for a while but then I would get bored fast.

I'm sure I'll be drying a few more because they are good for long term food storage and the soups and such. I've never tried Dilly Beans but there sure are alot of folks who make them. I might just have to try them this year.... Goodness knows I've got plenty of green beans!

I'm so happy you guys are starting to see stuff on the table (or at least being munched on TOO the table! lol ) <br /><br />As for freezing the beans, I honestly don't have the room to do frozen veggies in ours. We have one of those small chest freezers and it's mainly got our meats and some fruits in it. Oh and of course I have to have room to freeze the pop bottles/milk jugs for the rabbits in the summer. So canned beans it is! And I'm good with that... just sure was wishing the drying would have turned out better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-17003113585337006732012-05-31T08:39:15.743-06:002012-05-31T08:39:15.743-06:00I have had a little bit b etter luck with French c...I have had a little bit b etter luck with French cut.

But they do have their place. We can a lot of green beans because we like them so much. I hope you get your outside kitchen set up soon!<br /><br />It amazes me that you are starting your canning season when we are still waiting to plant most things. *sigh* (I'm living in the wrong place for sure.) It would be wonderful to have a long garden season, but I imagine it is a ton of work. Even our short season takes all I've got, to plant harvest and preserve. :-)<br /><br />Enjoy your harvest!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />RedRed Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13618348708651144199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-24611253540279335732012-05-31T06:06:52.294-06:002012-05-31T06:06:52.294-06:00Sci - i have to admit that i don't like dehydr...Sci - i have to admit that i don't like dehydrated beans either. i blanch and freeze mine. the dehydrated ones, of course, are much better for long-term food storage, and if bleep hits the fan or an EMP happens or whatnot and we, heaven forbid, lose electricity forever, then i guess i will lose a lot of my food stores. what i recommend is to freeze the majority of your beans but also keep some dehydrated for long term. not the best solution but i just don't know what else to do with them. we need to set up our outdoor canning/kitchen soon too. well, not too soon...i finally have some radishes ready to eat - woohoo!<br /><br />your friend,<br />kymberkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.com
