Allotments 4 All

HI Guys,

I am being tempted by http://rareseeds.com and have been thinking about picking up the following

LG109  - Chinese Red Noodle Bean
ON102  - Texas Early Grano 502
TM127  - Pantano Romanesco 
TM132  - Riesentraube 
TM159  - Weeping Charley 

In perticular i was wondering if anyone has grown the Chinese Red Noodle Bean and has any advice??

Cambourne7

the noodle bean is a variety of cow bean, a tropical plant. It might struggle here in the UK. Looks pretty though

I'll be ordering from them next year, beans and squash probably

I have grown the red noodle, it needs an exceptionall long growing season I found, did well for me three years ago but it would have been useless here this year. Cam, I buy a lot of stuff from this company, they are excellent by the way, very cheap shipping, I shall be ordering from them later in the year XX Jeannine

thanks jeannine, it was on your recomendation that i am looking at it.

But with the exchange rate at the moment its so tempting!

Thanks for the info on the beans i guess its going to be a optimistic about the year ahead.

I just want you to know I am still awake at this late hour because thanks to YOU, Cam7  (points finger accusingly), I have not only gone through this website in great detail but I have also placed an order...

Oh, how could you?

;D

woops - i am blaming jeannine she told me about the site  ;D

What did you buy?

Now check out Whatcom County. Johhny's,Seedmart,Tomato Growers.,Territorial, West Coast that will keep you going for a while   HA Ha Ha  hee hee hee..oh and the lovely sweet small one in Canada...mmm  ..now what was it's name. I'me bad!!

XX Jeannine


mmm.........Seeds of Diversity,Nativeseeds, The Cooks Garden,Evergreen (oriental)  Fedco (for short seasons) Paps (giant veggies)

Sleep is not needed when you are perusing seeds LOL

but bear in mind that Johnny's seeds had their site hacked for the credit card details of more than 10,000 people

Oi! Cam 7 and Jeannine - stop ganging up on me, you two!

I made two orders but only sent one - thought I'd wait to see how it goes first before unleashing the other one on them. The first is quite sedate - a couple of things I've tried before and a couple I just fancied - particularly the Trifetta chilli which looks gorgeous - the foliage, flowers and fruit!

Melons - Minnesota Midget, Tigger, Collective Farm Woman
Watermelon - Golden Midget
Cucumber - Richmond Green Apple
Kiwano (African Horned Cucumber)
Squash - Buttercup, Sweet Dumpling
Chilli Pepper - Trifetti
Ipomoea - Moon Flower

The total order before I split it came to about $50, including postage (I'll say one thing for the US, they know how to run a cheap postal service). With the exchange rate, that's about 25 quid. The prices for individual packets on the whole were much cheaper than sites here offer - and for bigger seed quantities, too. Ker-CHING!
