Gardening Tips

Harvesting Tips
Fresh Shell Beans : Harvest pods when they are fully formed and plump, but still green and flexible. At this stage, the beans inside will show their signature cranberry-red markings and have a tender, creamy texture—perfect for fresh cooking.
Dry Beans | Seed Saving : Allow pods to mature fully on the plant. Pods will turn tan, dry, and brittle, and the beans inside will harden. Harvest before heavy rains if possible, then finish drying pods in a warm, well-ventilated space. Once completely dry, shell and store beans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Don't forget to label them!
