Who can resist such a name.Red lettuces are not only pretty but a little more safe from slugs. And the 'rumples' hold on nicely to salad dressing too. According to the pictures, this one is v e r y red.Now they sound familiar?

I might also try David Chappell runner bean.

I was sent David Chappell as my HSL lucky dip in December. Haven't found out much although they seem to have been put forward to RHS Plant Trials and Awards in 2007 ."The trial also included two heritage cultivars that are not EU-listed, ‘Black Emperor’ and ‘David Chappell’" but no further mention. http://apps.rhs.org.uk/planttrials/TrialReports/Bean%20Runner%202006.pdf I added a picture of the seeds http://seedsaverscircle.org/2014/12/runner-beans/attachment/027/
I wont have di Siciliana Violetto because only one plant has survived the frosts. I may still be able to cross Iit with something though.
As a very quick tangent - for those of you who have saved salsify seed, how much do you get? I've carefully re-planted 5 of my better roots and am hoping for some seed after they flower this year. (To be honest, I just want to see what the flowers look & smell like, seeds will be a bonus)
