  • Vegetable "names"

    Does anyone know if there's a "database" of vegetable with peoples names? ie: I've requested some beans called "Stephens" for my father-in-law, and I was wondering if there were vegetables for the rest of the family's names, I was thinking of growing a little something with everyone's name if it's possible. Might grow some Hay for me...

    Sorry Wayne you may just have to rename your family members to match the veg that most suits them! Won't mention runner beans then.....!

            Must be loads of roses with people's names. I'm pretty sure that there is a rose that goes by the name of Queen MOM

                      Thanks for the roses link by the way, we've ordered a rose for the MIL, and it should arrive by the end of the week.

                          You could try finding a comprenhesive seed merchant or two with a 'search' box and just entering names you're after?

                          I must say I was delighted to find varieties of both calabrese and butternut squash that bear my surname
                          I was feeling part of the scenery
                          I walked right out of the machinery
                          My heart going boom boom boom
                          "Hey" he said "Grab your things
                          I've come to take you home."

                            I know a cabbage called Duncan, an AYR variety I think. Anyone by that name? And a tomatoes called Dona and Galina, any use?
