Seed Circle 12 - Peas and Beans only 2012 - 2013

[northepaul]

I'm afraid I am going to have to pull out too - so sorry, but nearly everything got eaten/didnt come to anything because of the weather!

[Matt94]

ok, no worries

[Leeds_lad]

I'll have to sadly pull out of this. My beans didn't produce enough to be able to save the beans and have enough to eat =(
Maybe next year if we have better weather!

[Matt94]

My french beans are not up to much either! I will give it a few more weeks before I throw in the towel although if the french beans don't produce enough I may be able to getscrape together some borlottis and broad beans. I will keep you updated..

ok, thanks for letting me know

[Leeds_lad]

Will probably be the same here to be fair =(. Have no where enough to be able to feed from AND put up as seeds. Will keep you informed though =)

have faith little VC, have faith

I have, Matt, and how did you know I was little?

[VirginVegGrower]

Think I'm with VC. I hope my polytunnel ones grow well, but they will be feeding us rather than going for seed. Obviously not a good year to have joined. I may still have Crimson Flowered broad beans, but have yet to see. They probably won't even dry. This weather is pathetic.

Just putting you on notice Matt that come August time, I don't expect to be harvesting anything beanwise

[Matt94]

well for the moment i will leave both of your names on the list (if thats ok with you both?), then in august i will ask everyone if they are still taking part, as this is around the time when you should be harvesting your seeds.

[veggiechicken]

I think I'm out too, nothing much happening on the peas and beans front in my garden. It will take a miracle to have any to eat, let alone save for seeds. Sorry Matt - you can be rude about me again now

[Urban]

I may need to drop out of this, my mange tout is doing ok, but my beans have for the most part been destroyed by slugs/snails

[Matt94]

Right im just giving this another bump - just incase anyone who hasn't added the varieties they are growing for the swap, wants to add them now!

I would also like to note this thread is also for people to discuss how their pea/bean crops are growing, when they harvest the seed etc

[Leeds_lad]

of course you can join leeds lad, i will add you on the list. erm i will put you down for both varieties of BB - but you can always change that later on if you want

Ok, cool stuff then =)
