I see that you have saved Kentucky Wonder seeds. We will be saving several varieties of pole beans for the first time this year. Do you have any special hints for success in this?
ReplyDeleteSherri, I think bean seeds are amongst the easiest to save. I just shell them and pack them in an envelope or jar. The hardest part is reminding myself to label them, because I never remember what each one is if I don't! :o It's very rewarding to save seeds.
