Title: School Club hoping for 3 sisters & broad beans
Post by: SueK on January 17, 2009, 20:49:30
Hi all,
I'm posting this on behalf of Armley Primary Gardening Club as we have just decided what to have a stab at this year! 

Wanted:
For our 3 sisters bed, runner beans and an early variety of sweetcorn.

We would also like some broad beans - ideally a variety which we can sow/plant Feb/March and harvest before the summer holidays!

On offer, all from Seeds of Italy :
Bought in 2008 for this season:
Radish - Zlata 
Carrot - Jaune du Doubs 
Carrot - Paris Market 4 
Cauliflower - Romanesco 
Previous year:
  Courgette - Tondo di Piacenza

Please PM me if you can help.

Best regards,
Sue

Had any offers of Broad Beans?
We have a plant sale at the start of June, and I have a friend in Pudsey. We could bring you some spares if you ask after the sale...
;D

If you send me a SAE I can send you Painted Lady (Runner Bean) and some of my open pollinated sweetcorn (sorry can't tell you variety - just save the seed from one year to the next)

I think I have some Dwarf Sutton Broad Beans if you'd like them, not sure on sowing times but I'll check for you.  Wouldn't mind a few carrot seeds if you still have some, but if you'd just like to pm an address I'll get the beans out to you in next few days.
