    Redlands Green Leaf did really well in the tunnel. I do remember being really impressed with it but I tried lots of others last year. I have some HSS so I'll be growing it this year. (I could spare some seed, if you want to pm me I'll let you have the address but TBH by the time you've paid postage to and from you might be better off with something else.) I can't find it in any catalogue except this one (Australian!) Sunland Seeds - Redlands Greenleaf.
    I've got some of those! I grew a load a couple of years ago and gave them to VC for the VSP. I remember they were pretty prolific, I originally had them from Zaz...a lovely chesnut brown seed. I will dig them out and see if they sprout.

      I grew Aquilon last year out of doors and was very happy with them. Lots of pods, held high so they didn't get muddy, easy to pick.

      I'll be doing them again this year.

        The pods are high up and the plants are strong and didn't flop. I do tent to put props of the branchy ends of sticks I've cut for other jobs in to hold FBs up when they are loaded with beans.

        PS. I just don't have enough time to say hello to everyone as they join so please take this as a delighted to see you here!

          Just sown some Aquilon and Mascotte DFB in modules in the heated prop. Hoping to get a few pots of early beans in the GH.
          Anyone else as optimistic as I am?

            I sowed Purple Teepee in mid March last year and they were all over the windowsill and becoming a real nuisance well before it was warm enough for them to go outside. That wasn't a greenhouse though, it was my sitting room!
