These beans are beautiful enough to make into jewellery - I can quite see how Jack swapped his cow for some. Leave a few pods on your plants to collect at the end of the season, keep them somewhere dry and frost free over the winter and next year you’ll have new plants for free - magic beans indeed.
There are lots of seeds that you can collect at this time of the year. Choose a dry day and make sure the seeds are ripe and ready to collect. Store until you are ready to sow them in paper bags or envelopes - not plastic or they’ll be more likely to rot if you’re keeping them for a long time. Some seeds like to be sown while they’re fresh, but most will keep for ages as long as they don’t get damp. It’s hugely satisfying to sow seed you’ve collected yourself.
