I am not Jim, but to save seeds for beans you need to let some of the pods/beans mature and dry on the vine. Then once the pod is dry, usually at the end of the growing season, it should generally be a light brown in color, remove them from the vine and open the dried pod up to remove the beans. Remove any pieces of pod and chaff, and store the dried beans in a clean, dry jar that is labeled or an envelope. Store in a cool dry place until your ready to plant for next season.
The beans are best picked before the pods fill out and buldge, usually around 4 inches long. They taste pretty good raw even at three inches and pods are still flat. I snack on a few when i am out in the garden.
