Runner Beans - Seed Saving

Earlier this year I planted a handful of runner bean seeds in the fixed raised bed. Unfortunately I did not tend to these at all, in fact they were left untouched until they had gone to seed early october.

I simply removed the seeds from the pods, sorted the mouldy ones from the good ones and left them on my kitchen worktop, after about a week they had dried out so the shells would more likely crack under pressure than squash in.

I have now placed these seeds in an envelope in a cupboard ready to plant next time.
