Seed saving is very strong here in North Queensland, Australia. The network has been going in some form for longer than I've lived here (19 years). It has gotten so big over the past 4 years the group had to split to create a number of more local groups, there are at least 4 now. Gatherings attract from 30-80 people.
I've grown my runner beans for at least 15 years. I received the seed from a lady at a seed savers meeting who had the seed from her father, who had told her "plant these and you'll never be without a bean" I remember her saying "and it's true" and I've verified that over the years which is quite an achievement for living in the wet tropics. I've shared those beans with countless people.
Excellent work! And thanks for the shoutout, so kind of you!!
