Hi everyone
After enjoying fresh runners and blue lakes for 3-4 months each year, I've just discovered the exciting world of dried beans
So of course next year I'm going to fill my allotment with lots of interesting varieties, not just buy boring packs from shops!
I looked at some old threads and found the following types recommended:
Canadian Wonder - best red bean
White Emergo - butter bean, needs a long season
Yin Yang - pretty bean but hard to grow
Borlottis - e.g. Lingua du Fuoco ("tongue of fire")
Tiger eye - yellow/pretty bean
Roqencourt - good black bean (but a dwarf)
(please correct me if I've missed out any really good varieties)
Does anyone know a good supplier for these, especially the unusual ones - is it really necessary to get them shipped from America?!!
Otherwise does anyone have a few spares of any interesting seeds that they'd be willing to put in an SAE?
Cambridge is meant to be the driest place in the UK, so I should have a good chance of success.
Thanks very much.
