Some of my Borlotti beans got caught in the first frost of the year.
We've harvested the lot- and put a pile into sterilizing jars. So far so good!
BUT...I'd like to dry some for next year. Problem is that the pods weren't dehydrated nor dry and the frost has made them slimy .
I know beans should be dried in their pods til they pop open naturally- but these I'm sure would have gone mouldy.
Should I go ahead and dry them on a plate at room temperature- or should I sterilize them. I was really hoping to save a few to plant again next year- but I don't want to waste this last batch.
What do you suggest please peeps???
