Hey I have a fair few fava seed varieties, they should be in already but doing that tomorrow.. which one though..

I have a nameless variety that I have grown for many years and I am trying to hide it LOL Way way back it was a commercial kind my Dad grew I think but over the many years he and then me have been growing it it has changed qyite a lot It has crossed the Atlantic three times in the last decade with me and the first time in 1980 and it still goes on. I guess by now it is MY Bean, I always look for another kind but end up growing it anyway.

I got an interesting purple runner bean a couple of years ago from a grower in the UK..the first known purple runner. The first year I grew it I didn't pull out the roots and two regrew last year, so I left them in the ground too, just wondering. There are seeds still hanging there but I think they may be no good as they would not have dried. I did dry a few but not enough to share.
