            They do them here, together with lots of other heirloom varieties.

            and here too, from the Real Seed company. Top banana!

              I would go for French bean 'Climbing Blue Lake' - always reliable for me, whatever the weather and still cropping, having started picking first week in July.

                Mine would be runner beans. Pink lady I think they're called. We had the seeds given us last year

                  It would have to be onions. Any variety would do. I use onions with so many dishes. Don't think i could do without them.

                  And when your back stops aching,
                  And your hands begin to harden.
                  You will find yourself a partner,
                  In the glory of the garden.

                    I agree - onions : I grew some Japanese onions for the first time this year and they're whoppers ! So useful to have about the kitchen and hanging in plaits, a nice bit of rustic decoration too.

                      Sorry, no can do - not just one fruit/veg. Variety, maybe, but not just one fruit or veg. And I have given a lot of thought to it, but I want/need them all!!

                            ...but not good fresh, a bit tough and stringy...fabulous dried though, and prolific

                            BTW.that doesn't count as my choice. I'd have Barlotta Lingua de Funco (or something). Lovely big red French Bean, looks like a sausage, delicious steamed, and provides big fat speckled egg-like beans if you dry it.

                              Not asking for much are you Snadger, but after careful consideration I have plumped for onions too. Variety Jagro which has produced over and above all expectations this year, with a large percentage of the sets growing into onions between 500g - 700g. Planted in drills at end of February, hand weeded once and not touched since - in fact you can't see them for weeds!

                                Hi Rat, never heard of that variety before. Could you let me know where you purchased them.

                                And when your back stops aching,
                                And your hands begin to harden.
                                You will find yourself a partner,
                                In the glory of the garden.
