Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when the seeds have just begun to form and the pods are several inches long (depending on the variety). Hold the stem with one hand and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which will continue to produce. At seasons end, plants are great compost material if they are disease-free.
