Where I live I have a short season, we get a frost before the seeds have time to dry. So I pick them and dry them inside the house. Air circulation is very important. So an open tray on top of the fridge works well for me
Good tips! I wonder can I grow soybeans from soybean seeds sold at the grocery market, which has probably been on the shelf for more than a year? Thank you.
My question for 2020 end of season…Blue Lake Pole beans…left several beautiful straight gorgeous beans on the vine. Now in Seattle area Oct 3 most are yellowed but not dry. Our weather is still decent (60 degrees, cool, overcast) but foggy, marine layer all day. Rain may come any day now. Am I better to pull seed beans before the rain comes? Is the moist foggy weather stopping them from finishing drying? Will they be better off drying off the plant indoors or remaining on the vine in moist environment? Thank you and cheers!
you don't say anything about seed saving in the northeast. We'll get a killing frost before the beans are ready to harvest for seed. I picked the biggest and I'll dry them by the stove until they turn yellow.
Do you stop watering the plants so that they can become like this?
Excellent!
Great video, thanks! Quick question, how big do the seeds need to be? Will smaller ones germinate just as well or will much fatter ones have a better chance of success due to the increased amount of nutrients? Thanks again!
Nice learn't alot, Thanks
Can I dehydrate my bean seeds? If so what temperature? Thank you.
Could you do a video on planter layouts please? Eg. What do you think of U shaped planters?
Also, could you cut the whole plant off when the plant starts to dry? And then perhaps hang it up like tomato vines with unripe tomatoes?
Are those types of dried beans good for cooking as dried beans? Or do you recommend specific type of beans?
Can you save any seed from fresh green beans? If not…..why not?
What if you have fresh picked beans (edible) and you just let them dry out?
If anyone is looking for a bean to try, I used Landreth the past 2 years. They are a large bush, benefit from some support. But they grew quickly, and produced really heavily. And they also have a decent time of what I would call hang time. From when they start to ripen to the time they are too ripe is probably 10 days. Plus the flavor is excellent.
You do know that they are not just for seed they are the same dried beans you buy in the store I do my last harvest in middle august and then let the plant go until the first frost , when the beans are nice and dry I then harvest and and chuck the dried beans. Save them in a air tight container, got about 4 pounds last year. Then for the best part I make home made bake beans at thanks giving time you have never tasted anything like it. Try it you will like it. Got the receipt for bake beans on the internet takes about 5 hr. To make.
I am so confused…you look like you are on a green screen…but then you grabbed beans off a plant….brainception bro!
Can I even eat the wax beans when they have developed as beans? /Hanna
You have wing beans seeds for sales? I like to buy them please. I can pay through PayPal
Do you keep watering the plant while waiting for seeds and pods to dry?
Do you stop watering the plants you want to go to seed?
Please help me..not all my pods are dry on the vine and we are started to freeze here…what do I do?
when i clicked on this video, i had a feeling i had a fair idea. after watching it, i was right, but knowing how long to wait is something i learned. thankyou for this, i'll be checking your other videos out for plants i have no clue on.
Will bugs hide in bean seeds and eat them from within? Seems that happened to someone in my family years ago
We are expecting our first frost tonight so we picked all the old beans, most not very dry yet. Do we need to bring them inside or will they be fine to freeze before totally dry?
Our beans get soggy and mold on the vines before they dry out.
