Many thanks Jayb!...feelling a fair amount better now... the quack has given me some painkillers for my arthritisand at least I can do things now... If weather plays fair I'll dig out the rotavator sometime soon and get the spud patch turned over... it's had a foot or so of manure on it through the winter...

Hi  I've got some coco bicolour  (think that's how you spell it!)  if you'd like to swap for pinto?  Hope you've managed to get the rotovating done 

[chriscross1966]

Hi wye not... I can send you some pinto, but I've picked up some coco recently and they're a bicolour (look a lot like a pea-bean or Box)... PM me an address adn I'll try to get them out in the week....  Rotavator sprung into life this afternoon once I remembered to turn the fuel tap on :rolleyes: I can't see me sowinf many beans before the mid-end of April at this rate, just too cold ATM....

Hi Chris

Bridgewater are doing well, but the Minnesota Purple Mennonite Stripe are just outstanding!!!  Huge pods which are fabulous for eating as green beans.  I know you use them for their seeds, but these are fab as pods too and you only need a couple per person, given their size.

Thank you so much for these new beanies.
