This was my first year growing these (normally grow runners) after a

My question is having just got back from two weeks away, there are a lot
of large pods starting to ripen, can one use the ripe beans dried (or
maybe frozen) do they need boiling?

Yes. Don't know how to freeze them, but I've saved them dried.
Or just pick and use to make a been stew.


It was just something my wife asked me and I didn't know the answer, ie if you freeze adult mature beans before they dry do you still have to boil them? I think we will boil them any way to be on the safe side!
