French Beans

My french beans have gone mad im getting loads lots more than expected. Anyway i went to get some more just now and there are some really large ones that are past there prime.

My question is, i normally leave some at the end for my seeds next yr, now if i leave some of the large ones now for seed will it stop or slow the plants producing more now?

Cheers MW.

Pick the large ones and dry them in a greenhouse or similar, if you leave them they will slow the production down.

Or just leave those plants for seed production, and crop from the others

the more you pick the more you get , leave a few on the plant for drying out ,

but remove before the frosts , beans where so to start but going crazy now , 1st freezer full of beans, caulis, blended tomatoes in takeaway containers , beetroot ,
