The coin on the right in the bowl (first image) and the left in the other images is a US quarter, 24.3 mm in diameter (0.955 inches).

I often wondered what would make great scales to share photos. I've came to that result, but there is surely better solutions : * for small things, the thing that open soda can (sorry i dont have the english word) : And for bigger, a tennis ball

One problem with using coins is that I don't know what size your denominations are, and you might well not recognise my British ones.

I just checked, robertb, and a quarter and a 10p piece are more or less the same diameter (just make sure it's a modernish one, not one from the 1970's). A 1 euro coin is slighly less in diameter and 2 euro, slightly more (but both by hairs breaths). A Canadian qaurter is roughly the same size, as are an Australian and Zew Zealand 20 cent piece. That should cover most of the people on this forum. Unfortunately I don't have current acess to much in the way of Eastern European coinage, so I just have to hope enough Euro's make it around you can use those. If you need other comaparitives, a 5p is about dime sized, and a nickel and a round pound are more or less the same diameter (though the pound is a lot fatter)

I want to use one of those black & white rulers that's in inches and centimeters ... if I ever find one. Something similar to this:

ilex with which varieties did you start your landrace? these big seeds are impressive! Ianto's return + all comercial varieties in Spain + many local varieties + half a docen more. I have almost 20 more local varieties to add next year. Fava diversity here is quite high, mostly big seeded. Popular varieties like Aquadulce, or Seville, came from Spain.
