Brighstone beans

[sparrow]

Morning all - I was wondering if anyone had a few seeds that they wouldn't mind swapping/sharing?

My Dad was an Islander, from Bonchurch, and I'd like to try growing something with such a lovely history. I'd be sharing any beans with a friend too, who's a really keen seed saver.

Thank you.

 I do have some only 6 I am afraid but you are more than welcome to them .

I've some older seeds which you are welcome to, though I can't vouch for germination rates, might give a few more plants to complement Markfield rover's.

[sparrow]

That is wonderful - thank you both. What can I offer in exchange? I have lots of achocha, squashes, tomatoes and beans - though the really interesting beans mostly came from here!

[markfield rover]

Great, if you pm your details I'll do the honours. Now I do not need any seed ....... But ...... If you have a spare seed of a squash you concider to be right tasty that would be interesting as I am on a bit of a learning curve with these , talking of which at a swap I did get some Oregon Homestead and(HSL) Maltese Marrow if you don't have these I could pop a couple in too.
Cheers

Great! Will send you a PM and if you include your address with beans I can send you some lovely squashes back. :D  Oregon Homestead sounds irresistible too...

Thanks so much for the Brighstones and squash seeds! Return squash seeds are on their way to you in the post. :D

[markfield rover]

Many thanks, exciting isn't it!

[markfield rover]

Thank you sparrow ,the seeds are here and will be safely tucked up by sundown. I  did keep one  Brighstone bean just to see if it germinated and it has phew!
Cheers and thanks.
