saving runner bean seeds

[Lady Leek]

Runner beans regrowing?
A couple of years ago I just cut them down to the ground and dug over my plot, as I was digging I missed where the beans were and must have earthed them up.
Well the following year they regrew not all but about half of them so I put canes up and off they were. Good job they came as I tried a new variety that year and we hated it, so the old beans came in very handy and now only use them.
Just make sure the seed is dry before storing them.

The beans should be OK for a year or two GP, eventually they'll give up the ghost but you should have your own replacement by then . Keep them somewhere cool ( the butter section of the fridge is mine much to Mrs griefs annoyance

Only playing at it really Nick have a small area to the side of our new bungalow which is devoted to fruit (on Granny Dragons insistance) so fitting in things like lettuce, courgettes, onions etc and pots and herbs in tubs
