Hello Just picked 6 lbs of Jade II bush beans. Left small ones on there. Will I get another picking?

Yes, likely 2 more pickings if you are in zone 5.

Zone 5 picking beans already? Mine are just barely starting to flower! But then, our high temps were in the low 50's over the weekend, and hardly getting above 70 at all. And oh right -- all rain, no sun.

I normally get pickings all the way through -- keep picking, they keep flowering and producing. But stop picking and they stop, leave them on and you get dried beans.

Good for you! Looks like you're off to a great start.

Did you cover for frost in May? I know there are no two zone 5's alike, but we got lots of frost in May. I'd love to get green beans earlier, maybe a job for AG 19 fleece?
