And the last picking before they get pulled out usually has some fresh shelling beans. I do freeze them on occasion. If it is for a short time, I don't even cook them first. I just toss them in the freezer.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-31392516125004734352012-05-14T20:10:23.109-04:002012-05-14T20:10:23.109-04:00I was thinking of trying some borlotto pole beans ...I was thinking of trying some borlotto pole beans this year. Do you eat your shelling beans fresh and how do you eat them? Can they be frozen?elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615887438960518295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-50166561454206824972012-05-14T12:57:03.873-04:002012-05-14T12:57:03.873-04:00I've not frozen tatsoi before.

Then cool them down immediately in ice water. Lots of ice in there. Then freeze.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-17945252317729168022012-05-14T12:18:45.942-04:002012-05-14T12:18:45.942-04:00Hi!

We had a great time, they did all the work :-)<br /><br />I planted my beans a few weeks ago, and they didn't mind the cool soil at all. I think I had even colder temperatures than you did, and mine have germinated and are looking fine.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-54293929717808230912012-05-13T23:38:25.566-04:002012-05-13T23:38:25.566-04:00Last year I had horrible success with dried beans,...Last year I had horrible success with dried beans, they took up too much room for the amount of harvest I got. I am only doing green and purple snap beans this year. Maybe I will try dried beans again in the future.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668241377667731288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-67666870345533778162012-05-13T23:05:12.095-04:002012-05-13T23:05:12.095-04:00I do find that gardening makes you realise how muc...I do find that gardening makes you realise how much impact climate has over our world - as your bolting veg will atest.Lizhttp://www.suburbantomato.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-20367114101643010292012-05-13T22:50:45.113-04:002012-05-13T22:50:45.113-04:00Happy Mother's Day, Daphne.

I suppose the breeze helped make it tolerable to work out in the garden and I was able to accomplish a lot. Today was much more humid and the black flies made their appearance.<br /><br />I hope your beans do well. It will be interesting to see what you will grow from the purchased store beans.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129119492962711399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-70384310964483570872012-05-13T22:42:37.564-04:002012-05-13T22:42:37.564-04:00Hi Daphne, That is alot of beans it seems to me! ...Hi Daphne, That is alot of beans it seems to me!

And one were pole, one bush. You never know, I suspect. Fun to find out.
