Dandelion, I definitely have wild rocket, but I'll have to check tonight if I have either of the others. Will not be offended if you go with someone else who has all three!

[dandelion]

What would you like in return, bupster?

[bupster]

ooh, basil lemon or egyptian beetroot sound fun!

[markfield rover]

Are Helda beans the same thing ? if so I have plenty.

[dandelion]

Haven't heard of Helda. Hildora are yellow; I think the Organic Gardening Catalogue do them.

I have the Cabbage,a  Rocket called Cultiver from Frenchis and Helda beans. XX Jeannine

[markfield rover]

probably not- these are flat podded and pale green.

[dandelion]

Ah Jeannine, do you want some of the Trail of Tears or Borlotti for the January King? It's saved from plants grown from seed you sent me last year. Or any of the other beans? Just let me know :)!

[Jeannine]

I thought I might have the Hildora too but sorry, I do have another couple of yellow ones but not that one XX Jeannine

[Jeannine]

I would love some of the Selma Zebra,I haven't seen this one for a long tiime so that's a  real treat, in fact I would also like some of the Cheyenne too, I have never grown this one but it's earlier relative the from whence it came is a great bean which I did used to grow. I can send you a few of my other beans to balance it out. XX Jeannine

[dandelion]

Thanks Jeannine. I've got enough beans I think. I'm very busy with work this spring so I have to scale down my allotment plans this season. Just the cabbage is fine. I will send you the beans as soon as I get them (ordered them last week).

[dandelion]

Just looking for the Hildora now!

[dandelion]

Thanks Jeannine. I've got enough beans I think.

Oh unless you've got Jacob's Cattle... been wanting to grow that one for a while  ;)

[Jeannine]

Yes I do!! XX Jeannine

PM your address please XX Jeannine

[dandelion]

Oh no this is really embarassing. I ajust realised I ordered  Jacob's Cattle from Beaumaux too :-[ !!! It's all coming back to me now... I wanted both Hildora and Jacob's Cattle and decided to order one and swap for the other...
