Seed Saving : Beans

Bean are easy for a beginning seed saver to learn on.

Seed Saving Instructions: Bean flowers are self-pollinating and 
almost never cross-pollinate. As a precaution never plant two white 
seeded varieties side-by-side if you intend to save seed because 
crossing may occur but not be visible. It is always best to save seed 
from plants that ripen first and are free from disease. Harvest seed 
pods when completely dry, crush in a cloth or burlap sack and winnow 
the seeds from the chaff. Store in a papper bag and freeze for a 
couple hours to kill any vermin and then label and put in a glass jar 
and store in a cool, dark, dry place
