Yilgarn Seeds’ largest heirloom Broadbean variety.
They are a long pod variety whose seeds are double the size of commonly known broad beans.
We originally sourced these seeds from Len from Jurien Bay, who had been growing them for many years. I met Len, years ago when he walked into the nursery with two 20 litre buckets of dried broad bean pods. He dumped them on the house deck, they were the biggest pods I have ever seen. Len’s first words to me were” I heard you preserve old varieties of vegetable seeds. Can you grow these out and make them available to other gardeners for me?
Len is one of our heirloom Seed-saving Hero’s. He and many others have spent endless hours in their life growing, harvesting, and slowly acclimatising (through selection) these varieties to local conditions. Varieties such as these would be otherwise be lost forever.
