Depending on variety, mature pole beans may be allowed to dry in
the pod for use as seed. Mature beans work well as "shelley" beans,
fresh or dried. "Extra" immature-to-moderately-mature pole beans freeze
well; they also dehydrate well, provided that one first freezes them.
Thaw before placing into food dryer, of course.
Never heard of freezing before putting them into the dryer. Why would that be?

BTW, this was my first year for Scarlet Runner Beans - the humming birds
loved the flowers, they were extremely prolific and rather tasty, although I
didn't know what to do with them at first.
