Title: I got some funny new bean seeds today?? Came from Portugal
Post by: Jeannine on April 23, 2007, 19:29:57
Hi, I had a gift dropped off at school today,bean seeds. They are from a Portugese interprator I met a few weeks ago. She knew I was interested in odd beans and told me about some she brings from home whenever she goes back to Portugal, she doesn't know their name and she doesn't know how they grow.

They are  quite small, pretty,buff coloured with brown swirls.

I guess I will have to have a play to find out what they are like.

Does anyone have any Portugese connections that may know please ?

Watch out Jeannie. My friend Jack swapped his mum's cow for some of them. - When he planted them they grew huge and he had all sorts of problems with them!
