Is this a misunderstanding? The roots are not meant to be blood red, just the leaves. Looking at Chiltern Seed's website. If CH S are now retailing this variety, there is no need for HSL to maintain this variety, and this may well be why they gave packets to a seed swap.Here is the CH S description. https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item_1714c_bulls_blood_or_beetroot_leaf_blood_red_seedsThis also shines some light on the subject. Roots are described as "pale red/pink in colour, with clear zoning." http://sfnottingham.blogspot.com/2018/02/beetroot-selected-cultivars-long-blood.html
Quote from: JanG on September 28, 2023, 10:50:45Here are some French beans I'd like to contribute to the Circle. Climbing: Myrtle AllenA quite early small podded, productive white seeded bean. I received it from a Polish donor who cites his original source as Remy Orlowski. Unfortunately her Sample Seed Catalogue no longer seems to be available online so I haven’t been able to find any other information about the origin of this variety. Had a quick search on how to use the wayback machine for old cached copies of pages. Not that there is any meaningful information here, but this was the old catalog entry. https://web.archive.org/web/20210410212122/http://www.sampleseeds.com/?page_id=3725 Remy writes: Myrtle Allen bnMyrAThis a small white seeds variety that I can find no info for! It was early to mature so this would be a good one for the north. .

Shimonita, same family as Welsh Onion, but with a much fatter stem. This sounds a wonderfully useful addition to the garden.
Lettuce is called Rossia.Sorry, you had pointed this out elsewhere and I forgot to correct it. I know very well that it's Rossia but spellcheck thought it knew better and I forgot to spellcheck spellcheck!
