  • Nov 22nd: 2024 crop:~ 18 x 400g jars = (7.2Kg) and one is nearly a full jar, 350g, of Trail of tears. plus 450g for sowing next year
  • Nov 21st: Just pulled out 5 jars of the 21, some [2Kg], from 2023 stash to use for food. Taking 45 from each type, not jar, for possible future sowing.
  • The harvest of dried beans includes those I put aside for sowing in 2025
  • Oct 28th: 17+1 + 1(a) x 400g jars = (7.6Kg) :: One is nearly a full jar, 350g, of Trail of tears. + 1 jar mixed.one 400g jar of split broad beans from 2022 ~ (1b). So I may get less than 8Kg from 2024>
  • Oct 19th: 13+3 x 400g jars = (6.4Kg) + one 400g jar of split broad beans from 2022 and nearly a full jar, 350g, of Trail of tears. May manage to collect another jar giving 18 maybe this year. However this will include those selected for sowing next year.
  • Oct 12th: 11+4 x 400g jars = (6Kg) + one 400g jar of split broad beans from 2022
