  • Broad bean Reina Blanca

    Has anyone got any seed of the broad bean Reina Blanca saved? A subscriber has contacted the magazine desperate to grow it but can't find a supplier. Marshalls had it in their autumn catalogue but have run out and, according to the Heritage Seed Library, there in no UK maintainer. Most people grow the hardy Aquadulce in preference to the RB, but for this chap the Reina Blanca has some sentimental meaning (don't ask). Any help, pointers, advice gratefully received.

    I found a Spanish supplier where you can get Reina Blanca beans.

    It must be a very rare cultivar, as this is the only place where I could find it and the price suggests that as well. The strange thing is that they only sell packs of 25kgs for 83.95Euros!!

    Good luck!

              I haven't got a clue if the bug was eating a biscuit at the time or had a nasty cold!!
