2021 what I harvested today

I've left them too long once or twice, mice can eat them or they can rot or sprout even if they get very wet. They can be picked once the pods are going soft at the end where they are attached to the plant as long as you have somewhere dry to spread them out before podding. Most beans can be left on the plant to dry, particularly climbing. ones Once they are dry though, they are best picked. The pods can sometimes split when dry and spill the beans,
