How to Save Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean Seeds
Beans are primarily self-pollinating, though occasional cross-pollination may occur. As a precaution when saving seeds, separate different bean varieties by approximately 150 feet whenever possible.
Allow bean pods to fully mature and dry completely on the vine before harvesting. Once harvested, spread the pods out in a dry well-ventilated area for approximately one additional week to cure thoroughly.
After curing, shell the beans from the pods and discard any damaged material or debris. Store the fully dried seeds in a cool dry location for future planting seasons.
