[Community_garden] ] Harvesting black beans and killing junk treestumps

[Alliums]

Hi, Judy!

If you are saving pole beans from seed, you want to pick all the pods from
below knee level and maybe as far as your waist -- those pods will be
splashed from the dirt so could pick up viruses, etc.  You might as well eat
them as green beans.

Keep the higher beans on the plant and let them dry on the vine -- you want
to keep those as seed.  Once they are dry, you keep the best for seed and
eat the rest.

If any beans form below your "cut-off", just eat them green.

Other folks may have better suggestions for Tree of Heaven.
