Adzuki beans. I am happy that i managed to renew my adzuki bean seeds. I was going to throw them out but then i decided to make a last attempt and some of them sprouted. This is supposed to be a variety from the himalayas so it might be more cold resistant than ordinary adzuki beans. It grew well in my tunnel and now that i have multiplied the seeds, next year i can try and grow them outdoors. Should i manage to adapt them to growing outdoors here this would mean an additional species of bean plant for our vegetable gardens.
I am growing sesame for the first time this year. It's a beautiful and very useful plant. I never grew it before so i made lots of mistakes. I planted them into the ground while they were still very small and then i lost 15 out of 20 seedlings to slugs and snails in the polytunnel. This one is about to flower soon and the next one too. I have only 5 plants from 4 different varieties (one variety i have two plants left) whereas i planted 20 plants 4 each of 5 different varieties With a bit of luck i might get some seeds of all remaining plants i hope.
