Has anyone tried them? Anyone know where I can get some. T&M webpage was recommended but doesn't seem to have them showing.
This is the T&M page.

Alternately you can support this site by buying them from Amazon.
Click on the shop button above or on this link http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/index.php?page=10 then search for ustie in the home & garden section.
Either way they are £1.69 for 400 T&M brand seeds.
I tried them last year, but did not have a very successful crop and what i got was nothing worth writing home about, no taste at all. However, last year was not good for my runners either, so I will try again for the last time this year.
This cropped up on Gardeners Question Time, and Bob FlowerDew reckoned as far as I remember that you can grow them in the UK for interest, but we don't have the right weather conditions to get more than a token crop.
