Actually the ones that are up are red Duke of York and not Swift, which were supposed to be ... swift.
But they are (I hope not soft) southerners.

I know that may seem a daft question but I have never harvested my own seeds and would love to try especially my tomatoes which normally turn out fabulously well.

The seeds I got from Real Seeds all have seed saving instructions. For tomatoes it seems easy, although I haven't tried it:
Scoop out the seeds, put in glass jar and leave to go mouldy for 3 days.
After 3-4 days rinse off and spread on newspaper to dry.
Sow newspaper and seeds together.

They also run a seed saving course:

Thats a great link Martin. I bought some heirloom seeds from aniolekaseeds which are supposed to be very reliable for savaing the seeds.

They don't have any planting times on the packs though so I didn't read up and see that I shouldn't have planted the beans yet Everything else seems to be doing fine, especially the peas.

my chitted spuds were a gift from a friend and she doesnt know anything them other than they are an early variety that had a name she had not heard of and immediately forgot !!!. it will be fun to see how they turn out but if they turn out not so good we won't know what not to buy next year.
