Title: Climbing borlotti beans
Post by: manicscousers on January 31, 2012, 20:02:59
Is it just me or have they all gone dwarf?
I've been to lots of garden centres and looked on ebay, all dwarf. I don't fancy paying loads of postage, anyone seen any in the cheaper shops, please?  :)

I've just had a look at Premier seeds direct, 40 seeds for 99p + 59  P&P no matter what size the order. I would hve let you have some but I sent what I had left to Torreya last year. I bet someone will have some spare ;D.

Aj and Galina have given me loads of climbing beans to grow for shelling. I cannot wait to see what I get when they grow. I suppose I could look them up but then that would spoil the surprise.
