Saving seeds for next year...

I've brought my tomatoe seeds for next year (Half price at wilkos!)

But i want to save some of my runner beans and french bean seeds for next years crop.

Being a total novice how should i go about this? Is it just a case of letting a few beans grow big then save the seeds???

 

Hi Adam. That's pretty much it. Let some pods form fully and just leave them there until the plants dry off. You SHOULD find that the pods have turned brown and crispy. Just remove the beans and store for next year. It might be worth just washing them before storage, to remove any traces of fungus. Cheers...freddy.

 

Excellent, thank you
