Runner Beans

[clasher]

Do you leave the seeding beans up and until the main plants are well past it, before removing them. Also when you've done that, do you take them out of the pods, or just leave them as they are in a dry place for next year, Thanks in advance, Clasher

My dad used to leave them as long as possible to ripen, then pick them and take them out of the pods and leave them in a clean dry airy place to dry off, until he planted them the next year.

Remove the beans when full size & bring indoors to dry out. Keep them in an envelope. Large beans will give healthier plants next year.

It's frosty mornings, so remove quick.
