runner bean seeds

Drying for sowing next year.

 

Something good about saving seed for next year. ....Looking ahead with a degree of purpose and optimism ....feels very positive.

 

The runner beans did well this year but now I have lots of "missed" ones that have gone way past the edible stage so am harvesting the seeds and letting them dry slowly inside. I also have a load drying in pods in the green house. In previous years I have done this and had very good germination rates (>80%) so i am upping the scale a little this year and plan to grow more runners than previously as I find they freeze well. There is seed from a mix of varieties here.
