I want to have actual beans, not just the bean pods. Should I wait until the end of the season to harvest those? I don't want my plants to stop producing because I'm waiting for my first beans to be ready. |
Same here. I had also been wondering about that. From some things my dad said, I think even with pretty aggressive picking, you will find some full beans you missed here and there.
