Saving Seeds

I don't usually save seeds from my garden, except for coriander, dillseed and other herbs/seed spices that I like to eat. But this year, my laziness in not harvesting the last round of green beans paid off: I have plenty of seeds for next year's garden. See, folks. Procrastination does pay off.

So I'll tuck these away until April or May, when I'll hopefully remember that I don't need to buy any!

how did they get that way (ready for storage)? did you dry the pods? off or on the plants? if so, for how long?

thanks!

I just left them on the plants until they were dried, Yoakumputer. But you could also harvest them and then hang them to dry. I think that as long as the pods are crispy and the insides feel like dried beans, they should be good...but I'm a beginner at this!

Oh cool! I saved seeds from a tomato that had a horn on it. I want to see if I can encourage additional horny tomatoes!
