Hello, looking for purple climbing beans

[Janna]

Hi all, I'm new here, what a great forum!
I'm looking for some purple climbing french beans, as the mice got into my bean stash from last year.
I've got tons of things I could swap(nearly all veg, and herbs not many flowers)
so pm me and let me know waht you are looking for.
I've got plenty different kinds of good quality squash seeds;
altantic giant
red kuri
spaghetti squash
butternut
munchkin
turks turban
mixed squashes

check the thread 'Heritage or OP beans/peas offered' below, bugs might still have some Kew Blue left - very tasty.

Cosse Violette is what you want - deep purple almost black beans, tasty too. PM me if you want a few

I have Empress which is a deep purple podded bean. Cooks dark green though, they usually do. Let me know if you want a few.

I did Blauhilde last year and carefully saved a load of seeds that the mice kindly managed to break into , They were wonderful, a beautiful colour, really tasty and cropped for ages. Would def reccomend them.

Hi Janna - I've received your patty pan squash seeds but I still don't have your address! Can you send me a pm and I'll get the Empress off to you.

Ta.
