Seeds from beans.

Hi All,

To collect seeds from my mange tout and sugar snap peas do I just let them swell up and then take the peas out and dry them?

Hi rusty,

I usually leave them in the pods till they've dried, but that might just be me

Peas don't usually cross with each other so they should come true, unless they were F1s.

 

Do I leave them on the plant or take them off and leave then in the pod?

Leave them on the plant untill paper dry. It may be benificial if you can arrange something to hold the peas (I was thinking something like a paper bag but then it may rain) should the pod open up while your not there and the peas get lost on the ground. This is how they would normally spread.

Cheers, Tony.
