A good roll up for our propagation day last meeting and plenty of material to choose from - many thanks to everyone who brought along the great propagating material. Also a big thanks to Virginia, who very generously donated a selection of beans, to kick off our seed bank. Virginia's knowledge and experience with beans, will mean the seeds we now have will go a long way towards adapting and conserving been varieties in the GV.This month we are off to Derek & Kaye's should be a great one! it will be a bit of a seedy day, as we will be deciding what varieties we have in our collection, which we will request from seed savers bulk list and also which varieties we should concentrate on. i will be explaining a bit about the pea challenge.
