Drying out beans

Yesterday afternoon Wifey and the big kids picked a bunch of the dried bean pods from the pole bean runners with the idea of reusing them for next year's crop.  Unfortunately, we've had some rain lately and the pods (and the beans inside) were a little damp still.

I husked the beans and put them in the oven at 120 degrees for about 20 minutes to dry them out somewhat.

I doubt it was long enough to actually damage the beans.  It's sure better for them than rotting in a bag between now and early May.
