Your bean plants might be winding down but that doesn't mean there isn't one last harvest in them.

If you've been picking bush beans or pole beans all summer, chances are a few pods got missed. By now, those pods are starting to mature—and even if you didn't plan to grow beans for seed - those missed pods mean that you still have a chance to harvest some bean seed!

This is another Seedy September minisode to realise that there is seed growing in your garden right now and all you have to do is go and harvest it.

In this episode, we'll get into …

• Whether to pick individual pods or whole plants

• How green you can pick a pod and still get good seed

• Easy threshing and cleaning methods

• How likely beans are to cross pollinate

• The joys of better germination

Enjoy the episode!
