Title: FREE TO GOOD HOME(S)!
Post by: Hyacinth on April 13, 2009, 16:57:43
Climbing Bean Goldfield. I overbought at the Wyvale sale last autumn - bought 2 packs but one is ample for me.

From the T&M blurb."Delicious bright yellow, broad, flat, stringless pods.Have good early vigour & crop throughout the summer. Decorative for both the veg.&flower garden (I was thinking of wigwams in the flower borders). Common Bean Mosaic Virus resistant"..

I've an unopened pack, surplus to requirements....supposed to contain approx 50 seeds so can split.

Donit think I need swaps ;D

Assuming 50 seeds in the pack @ 10 seeds each, anyone else want some? Room for one more inside... :D

Many thanks Hyacinth.

I'm as happy as a pig in a strawberry bed.
