We have a 'pile' of Runner Bean seed, given to us by a neighbour at our new Lottie, his Plot No. is 12 (we are Plot 13, my Son's lucky number 8)) so we have named the Beans Plot 12
They have been grown on this Allotment site for many years, folks cannot remember who they got their first seed from. The seeds are big, even bigger when soaked and germinating, am told the pods are 12 to 15 inches long.
Our first batch just sown today, germinated in 2 days on damp polyroll on boiler top, +/- 50% germination so far, balance gone back on the Boiler for a day or two to see what they do.
We are offering our surplus to A4A pals, free, no swaps needed, you just pay postage.
Have weighed and measured and seeds are thicker than 5mm so must go Large Letter rate up to 100 grm x 25 mm thick.
With packet and padded bag, 20 seeds weigh circa 50 grms, 30 seeds circa 63 grm, 40 seeds circa 81 grm
Depending on demand (if any) will put a minimum of 20 seeds in each packet, if less demand then more seeds.
If interested send me a PM and postage stamps for:
1st class Large (48p)
or
2nd class Large (40p)
Not bothered about SAE but send one if you wish

Tree Onions, Egyptian Onions, Walking Onions ..... yes I sent you some babies, they do indeed grow well, glad yours are performing.
I did not send you any R Bean 'Plot 12' ..... did you ask for some ?
I tidied up my PM files and looks like I have lost a few.
Anyone on A4A who has asked me for these Beans and not received an acknowledgement, please PM me again. Saddad I did not keep your address last time, please re-send.
I have enough spare Beans to make up 4 more packets of 30 Beans each then thats it.
All 'spare' Beans now gone or spoken for, thanks for your interest and success with your growing
