For seed saving, harvest the beans when their shells have become dried and crispy on the plants. Lay out the pods in a dry, sunny place to dry down further. Shell the beans and lay out the seeds in a well ventilated place away from direct sunlight for at least another few days to a week before storing for next year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sistah Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44074311975150,"sku":"BN-024","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2406\/3467\/products\/NavyBean_sm.jpg?v=1678216067","url":"https:\/\/trueloveseeds.sbs\/products\/navy-bean","provider":"Truelove Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
