* Obtaining your own bean seeds.
Attention! Beans are prone to cross-pollination, so when propagating two or more varieties, observe spatial isolation. Due to the limited size of the plot, the gardener often has to be satisfied with one variety for this reason. The shelf life of seeds is 10-12 years. However, good seed germination is maintained for no more than 4-5 years. Pollen of vegetable beans is carried by honey bees and bumblebees.
Harvesting for seeds begins when the lower beans turn black. The stems are pulled out and ripened in sheaves. Threshing is done manually, shelling the seeds from the valves. 30-50 g of seeds are collected from one plant.
