we have just walked from home to sunny Saltburn-by-the-Sea. it was lovely

 

anyway, on the way back we walked through the allotments (they have chickens and we were hoping to see some )

 

on our "chicken hunt" we met this man and his wife who had an allotment with about 20 chickens on it, he invited us in and showed us his "girls", he also had a buff orpington cockeral and a good selection of "girls"

 

as we were leaving his plot he offered us some plants

 

one pumpkin

 

2 dark red sunflowers

 

and 2 preans these are a cross between a pea and a bean, and seem to be from ireland we found this preans linky thing

 

we are hoping that we will be able to save some seeds and "spread to word" or seeds

 

has anyone else heard of them??

I was going to say no.......then I looked at the photo - I took a photo of a flower just like that on my peas yesterday!!! Perhaps it has mutated by itself?

 

I hadn't noticed them in the Heritage Seed Library either - I'll have to try some next year.

Fascinating.

 

I love broad beans so I guess I'd like these.

 

Did you notice this on the link you posted?

 

originally from an Agricultural Research Station in Ireland, came to the Heritage Seed Library via the Saltburn Allotment Society.

Never heard of them, but I like peas and beans so I'll probably try them

[Couperwife]

we are hoping to grow these and take some seeds from it next year

 

Egluntine, I had noticed that line isnt it
