    You can let the seeds dry in the pod, then bring them indoors to finish drying. Properly dried, they can be stored in closed jars for up to 4 years. This article has more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/beans/harvesting-bean-seeds.htm

    I do not recommend this, as it is reported that some Asiatic lilies can emit poisons into the soil. Any legume such as beans will store this, and distribute it throughout the plant. It is uncertain whether this can contain enough to harm someone, but that is a rick best left untaken. I would relocate the lilies, or find a new spot to plant the beans.

    They are a cool season vegetable, so plant them in spring or fall. They may succumb to heat if it comes too soon.
