Local Varieties

hmmm, they sound interesting MD - You may well get a PM of me

No probs NTG, (that's if they grow ok for me ) They are really pretty white seeds with red splashes. The seed catalogue says (from memory) they thrive on drought, deluge, neglect - and TLC which should just about cover what they might get in my garden

A friend of ours has a collection of apple trees, one of which is the rare Hornsea Herring (Hornsea's on the E Yorks coast.) He reckons it's got nowt going for it apart from its rarity. Doesn't keep, no flavour, nasty texture. You have to have a lot of growing space to allow some of it to a local, rare but awful tree!

I've got some "Bedfordshire Champion" onion seeds that I'm planning to plant. No idea if that means they are local though?
