How to Save Seeds
Beans are primarily self-pollinating, though occasional crossing can occur between varieties. If growing multiple bean colors nearby, observe harvested seeds carefully for signs of crossing.
For greater seed purity, separate varieties by approximately 150 feet whenever possible.
Allow pods to fully dry on the plants before harvesting. After harvest, spread pods out for an additional week of curing to ensure seeds are completely dry.
Once cured, shell the beans, remove debris, and store seeds in a cool dry location for future planting.
