Hi Snadger,

Never grown epicure but I grow Super aquadulce (just a re-selection) & thats a good bean. I suspect I could be struggleing witht the yellow podded job, I just thought it would be colourful to grow as I'm having a complete re-design at home.

I used to grow my Chrysanths at home but since I put my little greenhouse back up I haven'y got the room anymore to grow as many, so I'm going to grow them & my dahlia's up the lottie with the "long term crops" (spuds, leeks, brussels & the like) & the shorter life crops(peas, beans lettuce etc) I shall grow at home in 2 or 3 raised beds. Just got to make the beds now

No I haven't been smoking anything strange or snorting rhubarb schnapps.

I was reading a book the other day & it mentioned a yellow podded broad bean. I have a crimson flowered one already but this sounds really decorative.

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'
