Saving seeds from the Heirloom Dwarf Grey Peas.
I like to allow the pod to dry and crack them open to allow air circulation.
Dry the peas completely before storing in an airtight container.
Label and Date your seeds!
Seed Saving
life in and around the garden
Great.. yes our peas are drying as I speak… We also used our own dried Kidney beans for the past two years with good results.. 🙂 thank you for sharing

Each year I to more and more seed saving, I’m even doing some propagating this year. It’s fun to do, if I have the time!
Yes Stacey, my hubby has propagated some of our shrubs, two hydrangeas and of course we always take cuttings of geraniums and we have taken cuttings of Fuchsias this year too… Its amazing how many new plants can be grown, just by taking the time to propagate and grow on.. 🙂 Good luck with your own Propagating.. 🙂
I wish I would have saved peas to dry this year. It was a good growing season for them.
I hope to participate in a seed exchange here in Oct. I have little containers of seeds drying all over the greenhouse. Will have to start folding some seed packets!
Even dried out peas can be beautiful! I do this with my Baptisia seeds, which also lay themselves in pods. I will have gazillions of them when I am finished and would like to share them with anyone that wants to grow a Baptisia…also a member of the pea family.
Saving seeds has become one of my favorite garden chores! How fun to share seeds…I would love to exchange some seeds with you Jeri!
