I have to pick a lot of beans every year, so my trick is to pull the whole plants up. Once they’re fully ripe I pull the plants and pick the beans off in the shade, standing up from my trucks tailgate or a table. It’s much easier on my back and a lot more pleasant than being out in the sun I could pick the beans on the plants and get a couple crops, maybe two or three, but it’s easier for me to stagger the bean planting every two weeks, green beans go in every time my sweet corn goes in. I feed the picked bean plants to the cows, so nothing goes to waste
