I assume you mean green beans? (The dried ones cook/can just fine).
Those are two things that just don't can well.
Add peas to the list.

Canned asparagus is compost not food.  "Fresh" asparagus from the
supermarket can be acceptable but it isn't good.  Asparagus you cut 10
minutes ago is the real thing and a sublime experience as long as you don't
overcook it.
