Small-scale Seed Saving Question

crnagora95
11 years ago

I have two varieties that I am growing this year specifically to increase seed stock, Uzice Speckled Wax, and a purple greasy-type bean from Rumania. I have two vines of the Rumanian bean, and only one of the Uzice Speckled Wax. When I sowed the seeds in their nodules, I found only a few sprouted, and the rest were rotten and full of worms. How can I get the most seed out of each vine? I know pole beans stop setting blossoms after picking of the pods ceases. Can I pick the pods when I see the beans, and hang them from string to dry? Will the seed be viable? Any comments or hints or answers are much appreciated!
