- Harvest when the pods are firm, crisp, and fully elongated, but before the seed within the pod has developed significantly
- Pick beans after the dew is off the plants, and they are thoroughly dry
- Picking beans from wet plants can spread bean bacterial blight, a disease that seriously damages the plants
- Be careful not to break the stems or branches, which are brittle on most bean varieties
- The bean plant continues to form new flowers and produces more beans if pods are continually removed before the seeds mature
