Dandelion, I definitely have wild rocket, but I'll have to check tonight if I have either of the others. Will not be offended if you go with someone else who has all three!

Haven't heard of Helda. Hildora are yellow; I think the Organic Gardening Catalogue do them.

Ah Jeannine, do you want some of the Trail of Tears or Borlotti for the January King? It's saved from plants grown from seed you sent me last year. Or any of the other beans? Just let me know :)!

I would love some of the Selma Zebra,I haven't seen this one for a long tiime so that's a  real treat, in fact I would also like some of the Cheyenne too, I have never grown this one but it's earlier relative the from whence it came is a great bean which I did used to grow. I can send you a few of my other beans to balance it out. XX Jeannine

Thanks Jeannine. I've got enough beans I think. I'm very busy with work this spring so I have to scale down my allotment plans this season. Just the cabbage is fine. I will send you the beans as soon as I get them (ordered them last week).

Oh no this is really embarassing. I ajust realised I ordered  Jacob's Cattle from Beaumaux too :-[ !!! It's all coming back to me now... I wanted both Hildora and Jacob's Cattle and decided to order one and swap for the other...
