If you want to save seeds for many years keep them dry, cool and in the dark. These 20+ years old chilli seeds have been kept in an envelope in an airtight box in my fridge

Some news I would like to share. My first book, The Seed Detective, was about where our veggies have come from and their place as history on a plate. My new book, The Accidental Seed Heroes, is about a counter revolution in breeding and conservation, which puts people, place, and planet first.

Parthenocarpy, the condition where a plant produces seedless fruits is common with aubergines (egg plants to my American friends). This fruit is Sorten Raven, (black raven in Danish), an open source cultivar bred by Søren Holt in Denmark to be grown outside. I have a few seeds left to try in 2025🤞
