Hi, Juergen! You can check your planting dates here; just put in your zip code: http://www.almanac.com/gardening/planting-dates/zipcode/89429
At this time, we realized that we might have misunderstood your question: that it’s not about time to plant but about using freshly harvested seeds. So here’s our thoughts on the latter:
You should not plant beans again into the same soil, btw (bet you knew that); you should rotate crops in and out. And, you know if these are hybrid plant seeds, any resulting plant growth will vary considerably from the parent plant … right? Only heirlooms reproduce truly.
All things then, being equal, test your recently harvested seed, by rolling a few seeds into a damp paper towel. Put it into a glass or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid (so the towel will not dry out). Check it in 8 to 10 days to see what, if anything, is sprouting.
