the best storage for a plant is to have the seeds fully formed and then harvested and dried with the seeds going into stable storage. beans can be frozen for years and refridgerated for a long time too so that is good. my bean collection is only kept in fairly stable temperatures here in my room and so that means the seeds won't be good forever but they should be ok up to 10yrs or so for most of them. i try to grow out each of them that i care about every 5 years or so. some i work with each year so they are always fresh.

I use plastic soft drink bottles to store seed, they seem to work well. I freeze treat for a week or two but just store them in the unheated room upstairs, after five years there is still no noticeable drop in germination. I got weary of keeping so many different kinds, especially of beans. Now there are a few favorites that we like in a more pure form that I grow every year. All the others were just mixed into a grex for use as dry beans. I know longer even know the various names of the different ones that went in that mix. I don't discard any but always make sure the earliest and most productive represent the lions share of what gets saved for the next season. Some of the originals may have selected themselves out but lots of new crosses are in there too.

that looks very nice there!
we are just at the tail end of the melon season here, but i'm not sure how they normally grow or how long they last. are there any that are good up until the frost takes them out? the few i had last week here were watery and not much flavor, but as soon as we got some sunshine a few i picked after that were at least more flavor and ok to eat. i now have only a few left on the vines and we'll have temperatures pretty low (near 40F) overnight a few times this week so perhaps that will be the end of them. i'm not a seasoned melon grower yet, but i've certainly enjoyed those we've grown this year. from a few seeds we've saved a lot of $ and had great returns for the space used (i let the vines climb all over some pathways and some rocks). i have enough seeds now to plant many acres of land if i had it available... to me that is a great success and i hope to keep growing melons now that i know i can do it here. before my other attempt was rather poor and we didn't get much as a result.

The slugs are not crazy, they are attacked the last melon matured (1,7kg and taste of nuts) too matured. They like the good things! One melon is in formation. The plants of tetsukabuto try to did a lot of new fruits ( influence of the courts days). Its just a fail for my maxima this year: a lot of plants of maxima are not given fruits this summer, the fruits just begin to appeard in the majority of the plants. The most beautiful maxima with the most big fruit is in greenhouse, its may a variety not adapted at my climate. The moschata was been very productiv at sunshine and at shadow. This year, i have put a few tomatos under a tree, they measured up to 3 meters but they have a little fruits.
