Excess runner beans? Don’t worry, use them!

1️⃣ Blanch & Freeze: Slice, blanch for 2 mins, then freeze. Perfect for winter stews & curries.
2️⃣ Make Chutney: A classic way to preserve them. Goes great with cheese!
3️⃣ Pickle them: Create a tangy, spicy pickle to enjoy for months.

The harvest from the garden today. The first green-flesh honeydew (5 lbs. / 2.3 kg) was picked and it tastes good. It's sort of a watermelon textured hollow melon. I can't remember if they were this way last year. Picked another watermelon (10 lbs / 4.5 kg), more cantaloupes, 2 pails of tomatoes, a big handful of beans, 6 crookneck squash, and 2 too big zucchini.

The last two days of garden harvest. I looked at the small melon bed today and found a ripe melon, then another, and another, and more... Picked all the fully red Marconi sweet peppers and all the paste tomatoes I could find that were ripe.

Today's harvest from the garden, minus any zucchini because I didn't spend much time looking. Picked the largest eggplants and a ones that were on a dying stalk, 2 cucumbers, 2 yellow crooknecks, and 580 grams / 20 ounces of runner beans.

Beans have slowed down, not many got pollinated when it was hot last week. Same for the squash and zucchini and I haven't been hand pollinating them for a week or so. A couple of orange Flamme tomatoes.
