Harvesting Climbing French Bean Seeds

Harvesting Lazy Housewife (Climbing French Bean) seeds from bean seed coats saved last year especially for seed beans to plant this year, as they were such a nice tasty bean.

The original beans were sourced from D.T.Brown in 2021 and were then being sold for £3.29 for 50 seeds, today they sell for £3.99. As I saved the seed coats & seed beans last year, this year they have cost me nothing, which is why its worth saving your own seeds once you find a variety you like.
