We grew "pole beans" (green) this year. All summer we had lots of leaves and plants that grew on a trellis type thing my husband made.....but NO beans. Then about 3 weeks ago the beans started growing. I must have picked 10 pounds. We eat them almost every night and I have a few bags frozen. What I want to know is can I save the seeds from some of the pods? Do I leave on the vines to dry or will they dry in the house? And does anyone know why they took so long to produce beans? We almost ripped the plants out a few times because they took up so much space. I am glad we waited!
