Green Beans - Planting to Canning

[@Buggsy43]

I love snappin beans! I used to do so much of this with my parents and my brother. They have passed now, but it brings back so many good memories! Even the canning!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Glad you have such good memories. I also helped my mother and grandmother. Great times. Thanks

[@lorrismith7366]

I love learning from Deep South Homestead! God Bless!

[@levyrogers6979]

Danny I enjoy your channel a great deal. I am glad to have found you two. Your channel is one of three I watch. Yours is first on my list. Always you two are a ton of information, one gardening, canning, and just living. You take me back to when I was a little boy, being with my grandfather, who I loved dearly. I hear a lot of what you say, on life and living it, As well as just being a good neighbors . all of which I have heard from my grandfather. It's like everyone these days have forgotten how we are suppose to treat one another. And to look to ourselves to take care of our needs, not to look for a hand out from the government. Thanks for all your information on gardening, canning. As well as your time on the porch my friend. People like the two of you as well as myself and others like us, who were raised to be respectful, be good neighbors, are I guess a dieing breed. We were raised, you run into a problem to work it out ourselves or do without, until we had what is needed to allow us to get it straight. I'm glad to have run into the two of such good people who are willing to give little of their time and knowledge to help others, thank you. You my friend walk tall, stay true to yourselves, stay strong in your believes. God be with you and yours my friend.

[@lblake5653]

I love that you are always gentle with your plants. Those snaps look delish.

[@danielleterry180]

Danny watching you walk and sling your lime gave me a memory flash back to when I was 4 watching my grandpa in his garden, I am 59 and he passed when I was 5 thank you for that memory. Looking forward to harvesting when my bush and pole green beans start producing, my bush bean are struggling can’t figure out what they need to get them going tried fish emollient and added some bone meal today so praying they perk up

[@GardeningwithLadyCheryl]

Thank you so much for making videos. You are helping people like me learn how to grow and preserve food for themselves. I appreciate how detailed you are. This is my first year growing bush green beans in my urban backyard garden. I plan to can them exactly like you all did. Thanks again for teaching us. May God continue to bless and keep you both.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Cheryl Talley Moss Thanks Cheryl glad you enjoyed it.

[@lounastars224]

I love how you did this from start to finish.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Louna Franklin Thanks

[@brendabradley1278]

We picked our beans and got 14 quarts off of 4 8ft rows. First pickin. Expecting more next pickin. Love your videos. We live in northern Illinois but learn a lot from you even if our season is shorter and later. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@elliemae4525]

Great harvest, especially for first harvest. I've not been with you guys but a couple of weeks now, so when you repeated how to naturally control nematodes, I learned something I'd never heard. Thanks for going back through things with us. It's rare to see processes from start to finish. God bless!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+elliemae4525 Glad it was a blessing

[@rebeccaiya8731]

hi there.i just retired n moved out to the country to peruse my dream of growing my own food.ty so much for helping out a rookie.

[@lottiefaith6935]

Good morning. I love fresh green beans. It was helpful to see the blooms on the plants and the size of the plants before you picked them. I thought green beans grew up and vined but I guess those are pole beans, so much to learn. Those are beautiful! Thanks for teaching us. I do a lot of reading and it's helpful to see what I need to read on, you don't know what you need to know until you know it! ; ) I hope your day is wonderful.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Lottie Faith Glad it was a blessing Lottie

[@jrppark1]

Bush beans do really well where I live, I had to pick them every other day all summer last year. I planted both bush green beans and bush wax beans, we like to mix the two in the jars when we can them. They are great mixed together that way and look really nice in the jars.

[@staceyadams2272]

The BEST Channel: Nice video(s). Keep on educating.

[@pattifoote1714]

I love your beans and the enamel pan are awesome!

[@noneya3504]

Thanks for the beginning to can. My wife and I are going to grow bush green beans this summer and excited about eating and canning some fresh green beans

[@williamgalloway7262]

As much canning as you guys do it would be worth getting a 23 quart to double stack. Good video

[@labreeskarogers1102]

This is a really simple canning method I am going to try this out we have green beans growing right now and am waiting on them to get ready. I would like to see more videos of canning you guys do. I am fairly new to canning and am interested in learning.

[@NykkeyB]

I love the from start to finish! I've been loving your videos always filled with really helpful information. Thanks you for sharing.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+NykkeyB Thanks Nykke

[@KoriPressnell]

Thanks for sharing! Reminds me of when I used to help my Grandma snap beans. I can't buy "crisp" beans like that at the store anymore. Hopefully mine will do well this year.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+everybunny homestead I pray they do well for you.Thanks

[@cockeyedhomestead]

Mulching your rows helps. It's rained almost every day here.

[@charliewilliams8794]

Love the video thanks for sharing

[@LifeinFarmland]

Great video! Love the scale setup. Very interesting seeing it all in one video. Really enjoyed!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Life in Farmland Thanks Eric it was a while in the making.

[@juliehfromfl8845]

Thanks for sharing your videos. I've learned so much watching your videos. Keep them coming as I'm new to a this gardening and canning. Wow you really have alot of canning to do if you use that many jars. I'm definitely gonna end up getting more jars that's for sure. I did this stuff as a child with my grandma and always liked helping canning and the freezing of things she would freeze. I thanks so much!!! God bless!!!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Julie Harrison Thanks Julie glad you enjoyed it.

[@terrinewman7390]

nice looking garden!!!

[@trenaoquinn753]

I wish I was close , I would definitely be a constant customer 😀

[@messybunonabudget8773]

Great video and great harvest!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Thanks God has been good.

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

Green beans are my favorite. I would go through that in no time :)

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Living Weird We usually can several hundred jars because we eat so many.

[@SonniesGardenPA]

Great video, great harvest!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Sonnie's Garden Thanks Sonnie

[@jengoods2246]

Great video

[@laurabrowning924]

Pretty Beans!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Thanks

[@glorytogodhomestead3495]

Every man should know how to can❤️

[@lucygreene1267]

I love your channel!

[@MrCntryjoe]

great video, contender... ever plant wax beans? yes sir always save bean seed. easy let dry on plants. pick pods store, spring shell and plant. easier than going the store. have a blessed day.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+J Merritt We tried wax beans but the humidity here wasnt good for them.Yes always save your seeds.

[@YoshimaBooks]

Really helpful video ! I learned a lot!

[@moonchildfarm127]

Contenders do great down here in East Texas too, that and Rattlesnake pole beans. Your beans look great!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Mandy B Thanks, we are having to water them tonight. No rain in two weeks and the heat is causing them to droop. Praying this little bit of water helps.

[@moonchildfarm127]

I hope so!

[@contactjoy4140]

Back in the 1970s I read that MARIGOLDS repel nematodes. From then on I always did a turn under crop of Margolds and a crop border of Spanish Marigolds which are compact plants. Over all of the years I never had another incident with nematodes. I also include Nasturtiums..... both Nasturtiums and Marigolds are edible.

[@samfinn8397]

thanks

[@essemsween818]

I'm really surprised at how low to the ground those beans are and they don't need any support, a perfect plant. Do you know the variety or has it been hybridised by the bees over the years

[@itstheblessing]

Danny, Which bean do you like best please, contender, Rattle Snake or Missouri wonders ? I planted a bush bean last year and not sure what they were since the tags on the plants were gone . first time planting in WA. and they did really well . Thinking there might be more beans on a pole bean or does it matter . Not a large area to grow (back yard) .Thank you so much . I know you and Wanda are just so very busy I appreciate you taking the time to ans. . Blessing's and a hug for Hank too . Linda

[@scratchmadehomestead9343]

Can't wait!!!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Scratch Made Homestead Same here

[@dennisshields7246]

Did a 5 gallon bucket do 16 pints? Great video by the way.

[@ronnalscammahorn8002]

Exilent 🌱🍃

[@pattorregrossa9210]

Can you put beef broth into the canning process or would that affect the way it stores?

[@AnnieFarmerFarm]

pretty beans

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Annie Farmer Thanks Annie

[@StreetbikeSteve]

Thanks! I know it took you some time just to put that video together. Good info!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Simpleman Steve Thanks Steve

[@skatooli3971]

It threw me off at first seeing Danny in a knit cap at beginning of this video; I hadn't yet realized it was a compilation of the whole process even though it says so in the title. (Silly me) I had just watched Patara over on Appalachia's Homestead and she was wearing a knit cap too, so I was worrying about freakishly cold weather in the south today! Great info, as always. Hope you get some good rain soon.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Skatooli Thanks It hit 90 deg here today we need rain bad.

[@jeanskilling708]

Good thing about green beans is they can up fast.

[@arkansashomestead2926]

I really enjoy watching from start to finish. The only thing better is if you could show how you cook them right out of the pantry. I can't wait till the next video! God Bless!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Little D We are making some videos about cooking that will be out soon.

[@arkansashomestead2926]

+Deep South Homestead that's great! I can't wait!!

[@654Bearcub]

😊what a wonderful video, learned so much, I was wondering do you use new jars and lids, rings or repurpose just the jars, also once the canning is cooled do you store the jars with the rings or what would you recommend my husband and I make a few varieties of jam, mostly Strawberry jam and Apple Jam and recently made some Apple Butter, I can't wait to make some canned green beans and carrots for a variety,

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

654Bearcub We reuse the jars and rings only. We always buy new Ball silver lids never the gold ones they wont hold up over time. Thanks

[@mooseman8706]

How do you keep the deer out

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We have woven wire fencing around the property but they still jump it from time to time.

[@wayneleviner6557]

I take ashes out, and I put them on my garden to.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We do too when we have them, but we had a mild winter. We only had to build 5 or 6 fires. Thanks

[@carabellofamily4782]

Just found your channel. Just subscribed. How long can they be canned for? & Where did you get your glass jars from? & Is there a video where you take them out?

[@trevapowell9193]

Are you talkin about gardenline I want you to be more pacific we're out here struggling to have a crop please help us out

[@chrismc1967]

What pressure did you can those beans at?

[@pattorregrossa9210]

Do you have to pressure can the green beans or can you also use the boiling method? Thanks for any info

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Pressure can green beans.

[@tonysilver6016]

Wowser! Ty

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Tony Silver Thanks

[@essemsween818]

I'm really surprised at how low to the ground those beans are and they don't need any support, a perfect plant. Do you know the variety or has it been hybridised by the bees over the years d'you think? And, do you can on the day you pick them, to maximise the fresh taste?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

These are contender green beans. They are bush beans not pole beans. They are the best bean for our area. We can the day we pick. We are still eating canned green beans from 2011. They are still as good as the day they were canned. Thanks

[@essemsween818]

Deep South Homestead Thank you, I wonder if they'll grow in Nottingham? Am off to research Bush beans, & apologies for the tidal wave of comments, am binge watching SSH 😄

[@rdkitchengarden4359]

nice one

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Self Contained Lifestyle Thanks

[@amybean5511]

What type of Bush bean seed did you plant?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Amy Bean These are Contenders ive been keeping these seeds for many years.

[@peggymonroe2728]

Can you can green beans in a water bath? I don’t have a pressure canner.

[@reesietee1963]

Hey Danny & Wanda love to watch u guys. I'm here in Eastern NC. Been raised on a farm since a young girl. Would love to chat to ask u some questions just point me where to contact u. Ty

[@alrachid2]

Home grown peas... being washed in a drywall joint compound bucket... Might as well water them using a tide jug too.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

This bucket is several years old I doubt there's anything in it that would hurt the food.

[@alrachid2]

@@DeepSouthHomestead I understand your doubt, but it seems kind of counter productive. I mean, is it hard to find a bucket that has much less risk? Of course, buckets are plentiful. Im saying I think its worth the time and effort to use a non cancerous bucket. All those months of growing and then in that bucket, just makes me sad. Its wonderful that you grow, thats 99% of the battle, but do yourself a favor. Although plastic is hard, almost every surface has pores, including glass surfaces which is why Rain-x works. So, although you believe that everything is removed from the bucket, there is no way to be certain. Thanks for the great videos though, happy growing brother! Get a new bucket! Burger king sells pickle buckets for 2 bucks around here, or a local baker probably just throws out the buckets.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I have picked up some bakery buckets this past year.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

They are bush beans.

[@Loretta_Goff]

Danny, green beans are probably my favorite vegetable and I'm trying to grow some but it's not going very well. I think what I might end up doing this year is buying a bushel at harvest time ( in Canada, zone 5, that's the end of October ) and then either freeze or can ( stange expression when they're in a jar :-) ) them. Here's my question. I do not have the jars, the big pot or anything else you used in this video.. I do however have chest freezer. What is the difference between freezing them and canning and is it worth it to purchase everything to can if you don't already own it?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We have put them in the freezer. If you blanche, ice water and dry afterward, then bag them. If they have water on them when you freeze, they become mushy when thawed. Some people cook and season them and then freeze in containers in the water they are cooked in. When you thaw these out, they are better to me than just blanching and they are ready to eat. Purchasing the canner and jars, lids etc. is expensive, but if you are planning on gardening and preserving food, or buying lots from a farmer's market, then it is a wise decision. But you can freeze if necessary. Thanks

[@Loretta_Goff]

I've heard that a good rule of thumb is that if it grows below ground, you have to blanche but if it grows above ground, you don't. ?

[@tommathews3964]

Blanche it all if you're going to freeze it. Just my 2 cents worth. I've had good luck blanching it all and I freeze a lot.

[@sararich957]

Are those Bush beans?

[@moblackbird]

Will your bush beans bear all summer, or will they stop when it gets real hot?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+moblackbird They only last for a couple weeks in this heat. They are a cool weather plant.

[@scratchmadehomestead9343]

What does that mean...lining the jars up to the front?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

+Scratch Made Homestead Danny's OCD way of lining the Ball name on the lid with the Ball name on the front of the jar! LOL Just put the lid on, it is ok. Let me know how it goes.

[@scratchmadehomestead9343]

+Deep South Homestead too funny!!! Y'all crack us up!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

That is what we are here for! Look for video tomorrow!

[@alanlenzi3894]

What about botchalizme?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We have never had any in our food. Some of our green beans are 5 years old. Still taste great.

[@keepthefaith1912]

If you have 16 inches of space about 8-10 long..beside the porch....anyone could grow green beans...I call them "depression food".they could take a family through a depression -WW2- ..feed you all summer and some for the winter....my grandpa grew beans..corn.. peas..potatoes..tomatoes,o ions,chives and fruit trees..🐇🐰🐇..rabbits for fertilizer and protein ..etc..while living downttown ..

[@andielliott7721]

Who in the world is going to pick all those beans?

[@essemsween818]

I'm really surprised at how low to the ground those beans are and they don't need any support, a perfect plant. Do you know the variety or has it been hybridised by the bees over the years
