Hi thanks for the note Matt would like to be added to the list and will decide on what a bit later if that is alright. Valerie

[Matt94]

yeh thats fine - ill add you as number 10 valerie.

[Sanjo]

Thanks for the invite Matt94 but seeing what others are providing I feel I am a little bit on the mundane side. I am only growing ENORMA and don't do French or anything else due to lack of space, so I wouldn't exactly be an asset and may stop somebody else benefitting from the seeds doing the rounds.

[Sanjo]

Thanks for the PM Matt. OK I'm in but it will just be the runner beans Enorma and hopefully I can supply 10 seeds at harvest.

Hi, may I join as well? I'll let you know about the varieties once I've decided what I'm growing!

[Matt94]

Thanks for the PM Matt. Obviously didn't read the original post properly and didn't realise that it's supplying 10 seeds for each circle member. Since I only managed to save about 6 last year I'll have to say my few plants will struggle.
Apart from anything else, for the first time (and only because my local garden centre was selling them off very cheaply) I have dusted the beans with Mr Fothergill's organic pea and bean booster which is supposed to promote growth and despite the fact that they have been in the compost for about two weeks I have nothing to show for the work put in!!
So sorry to everyone but I'll have to opt out after all. That should teach me to read things properly in the first place.

[Matt94]

thats ok sanjo -btw your beans have been put in a tad early - so it will take them some time to get going - but should give a good crop in the end. (most people suggest putting beans in after their last frost - usually around may time - just lettin you know for future reference.

[Scarlet]
