Got it thanks, what are you particularly interested in from the cat? I've lent mine out to Deb P....

I prefer beans and peas and lettuces really. Not sure which varieties

[saddad]

Sorry for the delay, I had to drop my lad into town...
Stoke and Loos Tennis Ball are great winter lettuce as is Bronze arrow. I've never had any luck with the Crimson Flowered Broad Bean but the French beans are great.
Blue Coco I can spare a few I'll get some out asap so you can still order stuff from the cat without duplication.

Should I wear a mask from work then?

Or shall I just poke the catalogue through the letter box and run.... ;D

An allotment fence between us should be enough!

Bronze Arrow lettuce is particularly good, as it is resistant to slugs, and tastes excellent for humans! Reasonably hardy (Glasgow Area), it grows away quickly in the Spring, and I harvest individual leaves to start with for an early taste of salad.
Afghan purple carrots are good.
Mr Bethell's Purple podded pea is good.
Derby striped tomato did well in my greenhouse, as good as Tigrella.
Black Sugarsweet turnip also tasty.
Red-flowered broad beans did well for several years. Not a very big crop with small pods, 3 or 4 beans to a pod, but very attractive in flower.
