Great stunt to clear out all the remainers, cos they're not the first choice of many! Just how many families would that lot feed if grown competently. 7000 parissianne carrot seeds per packet. Could be a good investment..............

I saw the word "clear out all the remainers" and for a moment thought you might be going all heavily political, but I agree it looks like a ploy to clear some less popular lines. I have grown Ferrari french beans and think they are a good variety, but I'd avoid anything that was vague about the variety like"dwarf pea". I grew meteor once, but was unimpressed by the flavour.

 That said, Franchi seeds do seem to contain generous quantities of seeds for the money.

Political? who me?
Never let it be said.
The thought occurs however that should there ever be starvation, it would be the vegans and lefties who might be the tenderest eating, if they didn't stick in the throat.

Probably best if we leave the possibility of cannibalism alone, it's definitely in bad taste, whatever your political choices.
