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":"Bartram's Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31725857013895,"sku":"BN-016","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2406\/3467\/products\/Sieva_2.jpg?v=1578069717","url":"https:\/\/trueloveseeds.sbs\/products\/sieva-carolina-lima-bean","provider":"Truelove Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
