I have about 15 gb plants and am harvesting 3-5 gb's a day. Should I collect for a few days before blanching them in boiling water or should I do it every day? I heard that gb's loose a lot of nutrition in the first 24 hrs. I know that I will be able to harvest a larger amount at a time in another week so it won't be an issue for long, but what do I do know.

I did cook up the few I collected today and yesterday and had them for lunch this afternoon.

I do mine every day.. they get soft and rubbery real quick if you try to keep them too long. :) Good luck!

Thanks, I just got my first decent harvest so I was able to actually freeze them instead of eat them. I just don't like to put in 3 or 4 a day. Today I harvested about 20 beans! Now they are in the freezer w/ the 4 I got yesterday. I did not eat them yesterday since I am getting tired of them.
