Veg varieties in NZ

[pigletwillie]

All being well, this time next year myself and Lady piglet will be visiting her brother in New Zealand.

Does anybody know any varieties of veg seed worth bringing home that are unavailable here?

[smallblueplanet]

Kiwi fruit?

Just kidding, I imagine there'll be plent of exotic fruit & veg, will you be okay bringing seed back into the UK though?

Who'd think to look for seed packets hidden in the undies though? Ooops, or is that just the kind of thing I'd do?

Nope, exactly what I would do as well.

I would have a scout round the seed stores Piglet and just see what takes your fancy. At least the instructions will be in a language you can understand and you will be well able to work out what will grow between your lottie, tunnel and greenhouses. If there is anything really really exciting - please could you bring back a few extra to sell on to us grapes that will never fly that far?

A New Zealand prized tomato called 'Earl of Edgecombe'? There's one called 'Aussie' too if you decide to pop over to Down Under .

How so very dare you,

Leinster were put to the sword in great style on Saturday and as we are the current EDF cup holders and premiership champions, who needs rugby player seeds?

Probably Gloucester, aaarrrffff

A quality shirt Piskie.

NZ heirloom tomato and Feijoa

PW,

Nothing to do with rugby but tomato, found a heirloom tom of NZ:
New Zealand Pink Pear Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Perhaps you can get it in NZ garden centre, it looks pretty....

Another thing will be feijoa but it is a tree, produce a winter hardy guava (to several degree below 0 C).
