I planted two kinds of beans for drying (pole beans "Jimenez" and runner beans "Rotblühende") on the other side of the cucumber trellis and they've grown so much that the poor trellis is having trouble staying upright. I can't cut them down yet because most of the pods aren't dry (unless I can and then just hang them to dry?) But I went through and picked some of the singled dried ones yesterday. Look how pretty they are!

 @018363c2 Here in northern Germany (#Zone7a ), the beans hardly ever make it to drying on the trellis. They rather rot in wet weather. So I pick them when the pods feel soft with swollen beans inside.
After podding, the beans are spread out on trays and/or newspaper and left in the warm kitchen for drying.
When dry, we store them in glasses.
