Ok girls I need some help here. I planted beans for drying this year and I'm not sure with this weather what to do. I picked 1 shell that was browwn and tough yesterday and opened it up and threw the beans on top of the dehydrator (since it was warm) So far not a problem- Now the problem, my bean bushes are starting to mold in the ground and I know that is trouble but, most of the beans are still green. If I pull up the plants and hang them to dry will I be ok or should I leave them in the ground. The weather forcast- we have had rain for 2 days now and it is supposed to rain on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I would love any help you can give me. Thanks.

Lillian, I had to do the same thing one year after an early frost. The immature ones tasted fine, they were just smaller.

Thanks Aunt Jenny! I knew someone would help out. I am wondering about the "immature" ones will they be ok to eat or will they taste awful?

If it were me, I would pull them (with roots attached if possible) and hang them upside down in my cellar to finish drying. Good luck!!
