Bean seeds-better planted fresh or “seasoned?”

[ByFaithFarm]

I’m wanting to start a new round of my Chinese red noodle beans, that will produce as we head to Fall. Can I use the newly pulled dried ones that I’m using for seed saving? Or do I need to buy new ones and save the fresh ones for spring 2021?

Thanks!

I've used the saved seeds from same season and they grew just fine. Unfortunately the bean beetles ate the seedlings before they produced any beans.

I'm not familiar with the Chinese red noodle, but my regular beans do not need to wait. I just planted some of this year's beans and they sprouted. If it rains and gets the dried pods wet they will sprout in the pods. I'd plant them.

they're good to go. plant away.

Yay! Thank you all!

i should have said, plant when the time is right. i'm not sure where you are at or how long those beans take to reach maturity. good luck...
