How do I start saving seeds?

Obviously, I love saving seeds - I wouldn't have the wee business I do if it wasn't something that fascinated and satisfied me. I don't want you to just buy my seeds though (but of course that would be lovely!) - I'd be extra thrilled if everyone learned to save some seeds too! It's a great skill to have - arguably even a vital one.

The Southern Seed Exchange has a great little guide to getting started - check it out now!

The name is Bean. Broad Bean.

Thumpthumpthump! Attention all gardeners! Now's the perfect time to start getting your broad bean successions in, and the Big Bunny seed shop has a new bean-y treat in store now!

In addition to my old favourite Coles Early dwarf broad bean, I've managed to get my paws on some Red Hughy scarlet-flowering broad beans as well! I grew them on last print and now I have a whole pile of perfect bright green seeds to pass on to you.

Both these varieties are hardy and great producers, so why not grow both? Personally, I'm thinking a candy-striped row. :-)
