Whatever I decide I will surely be adding Bon Bon seeds and some of my own AG pumpkin seed from what I grow this year. My bon bon squash in 2011 were better than any other squash I have tasted. The AG seed will be from the brightest orange pumpkin I grow, feel free to pass them on if you do not wish to grow them.Roll on the summer ;)
I might try Reisentraube tomatoes and Black Hungarian chillies for starters.
Has anyone tried Beetle Beans (Kaferbohnen) before as I have some from a German friend that I could try if they taste good etc? Apparently they are a local delicacy in Austria.I can spare 10 beans if anyone else would like to give them a try this year. Send me a pm if you would like them.
A runner bean lover here ;D Dandytown, I'm interested to hear how you get on with Beetle beans. I wonder if they are stringy from an early age which is why they are grown for their seed? I've grown an old German variety called Muesboni a few times, good climbers and produce masses of pods. Beans are very tasty but the pods are fairly short in comparison to some of the modern varieties.
Does anybody know about the history of the runnerbean?
Goodlife it sounds like your bean 'Strakata' may have similar atributes, how is pod width?
