Vegetable "names"

[momol]

HW,
I got a french beans called Paloma and a mangetout called Norli .
I am just wondering why don't you breed your own veggies ( by cross breeding) and give them the name you wish and you can even patent the name if wish....

There is an onion called Ailsa which is my 1st (unused) name, always been called by my middle name for some reason..

[Hazel at the Hill]

I hope that does not mean that I am restricted to growing Hazel trees all my life.....

Hazel,
You can still go for Hazelnut ( don't split it)...

There's a Sweet Pea called Mrs Robert Bolton. This was my name before my divorce (except mine has a "u" in it). My sister-in-law was delighted when she found it. I hadn't the heart to tell her the "R" in Mrs R. Bolton was for Robert not Richard (her husband's name) .

Love the idea Momol, but I think it might be a bit beyond me just yet. I haven't had a great deal of success with just growing stuff yet, but I might bear it in mind for the future. Thanks for the suggestion!

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

Duncan make the grass grow greener!
