Pickle them! Pickled beans are great. Anything that stays crunchy after a 10 minute boil is worth pickling, from beans to beets to carrots to cucumbers.
It's surprisingly easy to can/jar pickles, because they are high acid, you only need to do the "boiling water" method (eg. No pressure cooker required).
I give away a lot of veggies too, which is also nice, but if your wife wants to hoard it all, pickle it man! My cucumbers did not do well last year, mostly due to a wet hot spring that rotted the vines on the ground and kept them blighted all summer, but I had such a bumper crop 2 years ago, I must have 50 jars of pickles still.
