Seed Circle 4 - Peas and Beans only - 2011-12

[vicky]

Zaz am I right in thinking there's 15 people in the circle now, so you need 14 packets of each seed? Just bagging them all up now. I'm sending you Marvel of Venice and Lazy Housewife.

Just checked some of my broadies hanging drying and although perfectly dry, quite a few have holes in them!! I havent checked all, but I assume this means they're no good to send?
The serbian ones are fine, but I dont know what else I can send?
I have some cherokee trail of tears left from the previous year's harvest, would they be ok instead?

Eek - that will be Bean Weevils.....

[northepaul]

oh no!!

Eek - that will be Bean Weevils.....

I discussed this with Flummery quite recently - I think it's Bruchid beetle, because weevils lay in the soil, not in the bean

Still a ruddy pest though. Mine have been infested for the first time this year

Thanks for the heads up on this - first time I have saved broad bean seeds too!!

Sorry I’ve not been about much lately, hope it is ok to still join in with circle?
I’ve King Tut peas and Hewitt climbing beans ready to bag up.

I posted them off today Zaz. Can you let me know when (or if! ) you get them! Ta x

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

I've left the circle as the Triple Treat seeds I saved had not been dried enough and well are furry like a teddy bear I've popped the Crown Pea seeds down to Zaz cause they are lovely peas. If anyone really wants Triple Treat seeds I have another batch drying which I'll bag up in a few weeks, so PM me with your details.

Ok - so I've started getting these in and updating the first post to show those that have come in.

Anyone else nearly ready to send in or am I jumping the gun a little? I know it's still harvest time strangely enough for November!

Thea and FF's have come in this weekend.

Mine are ready to post ~ I've been waiting for an address, have I missed it? Sorry. Please send it again? x

[zazen999]

I'm only sending the address when people PM me for it - otherwise I'll not know who is in or out.

Sending it to you now....

[Flummery]

I can send Fabes de la Granja Asturiana - a big white tapas bean. Really nice. Will pm for address.
