More seed saving!
Today I processed last season's blue lake bean pods. The way the beans get saved generally starts with a few beans getting too mature to eat by the time I notice them. So I let them grow and dry on the vine. Later I pick the whole pods and stick them in a paper bag and put them somewhere well ventilated until I'm ready to process them.
Here's my beans ready for planting! Blue lakes make skinny white beans that remind me of tic tacs. It's not a large amount but plenty for my needs. I discarded about 1/4th of them which were damaged or underdeveloped; we get a lot of Fall rain so there's always a risk that seeds will get damaged when I leave them to dry on the plant.

Seed saving!
It's a problem. Two or three dill plants last year lead to this, thousands of seeds! I always have big ideas for them. A lot of herb seeds can be used as spices. Or microgreens. Or sprouts. But I usually don't get around to it.
But yesterday I stepped into my local library and found out they are collecting seeds for a seed & seedling swap. I left with several seed donation baggies and plans to share my seeds with my community.
This was step one - processing. Removing the dried seeds from the seed heads and collecting them up into bags.
