Simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Around the 30 minute mark, you may optionally pull out about half the beans/ham if the beans are tender enough, and leave the rest to cook down and provide a thick broth.  You may mash them against the side of the pot to hasten the process if desired.  Add the greens and wilt them before returning the reserved beans/ham mixture to the main pot.  It's done when all are hot enough.
