Picking (harvesting) Green Beans

Picking (harvesting) Green Beans

You should start picking green beans or snap beans before the internal seeds become too large. Beans can be harvested at least 3 to 4 times over a 2 to 3 week period. You should harvest beans when they are 3 to 6 inches long and slender being careful not to break the branches when pulling beans off the plant. Branches will have new flowers that will quickly produce more beans. Do not wash beans until you are ready to cook them because this can brown the beans and cause decay. Refrigerate newly picked beans in an airtight container or plastic bag to avoid moisture loss.
