So, have any of you grapes either got any seeds of these to spare (3 or 4 will do to start with as I can nurture them along in the greenhouse) or know where I may aquire some from as I'm going to start & grow more veg at home & move the flowers to the lottie with the long term crops like tatties, leeks etc. |
Hi Nick
I cannot help you with a yellow podded broad bean but have just came back from Dobies garden centre where they had seeds at half price. I managed to pick up a packet of Unwins broad Bean Red Epicure
Have you had any dealings with these as the seeds are 'chestnut crimson' and keep their colour when cooked....I managed to get the last packet!
Just out of interest the other packet i got was 'Aqualunce claudia'
