I went to the seaside on Wednesday with my brood and observed that the wild cabbage and the sea beet in the area had ripe ready to gather seeds. i picked some seeds of both but the sea beet ended up in my pocket which i stupidly washed today and lost the lot :-[.
is there anyone by the coast who has seen some sea beet with ripe seeds about and would you mind gathering some for me.
here is a link to a picture of the seeds on the plants to help with identification;
