    Or, indeed, anyone else who might have a few runner bean seeds surplus to requirements.   :)

    Ditto.  The ones I had left from last year are no longer viable.

    I know right now it can be a pain to get seeds, what with the waiting in virtual queues, or perhaps them being sold out. So to help just a little, I've got some packets of seeds to give away. Postage also free. 

    Most of the packets are wide, so I can only fit two of those in a small letter. But if you don't care about the packet, I can simply include the seed sachet.

    Here are the seeds, starting with the narrow packets:

    Celery - Giant red sow by 2023
    Cus lettuce - Little gem sow by 2019. Has been opened, but only a few seeds used
    Onion - Bedfordshire champion sow by 2019
    Carrot Amsterdam 3 (sprint) sow by 2019
    Beetroot - Rhonda F1 sow by 2020. Has been opened, but plenty of seeds left.

    Wider packets:

    Onion - Red Baron sow by 2021
    Tomato - Lldi sow by date missing, estimating 20+ seeds left, has been opened of course.
    Spring onion - Winter white bunching sow by 2020
    Lettuce mixed green leaves, sow by 2023
    Tomato - Moneymaker, sow by 2021
    Leek - Musselburgh, sow by 2022
    Pepper - Anaheim (heat scale 1 out of 5), sow by 2020

    First come first serve. Please bear in mind I'm only willing to spare four stamps at this time.

    p.s If anyone has the purest of white foxgloves I would't say no to that ;)

    I've got loads of purpurea, ordered far too many. I also have some Heywoodii Silver Fox if you'd like some of those too?

    Oh my word that would be marvellous... how kind of you, the Silver Fox  would be marvellous on my Shady Bank ... it needs something to lift it. I’ll PM you my address if that’s ok?

    Yep go ahead, I'll get them sent out asap. Also got some digitalis lanata if they're of any use you? Just let me know.

    @Liriodendron :If you are still needing viable Runner Bean seeds, I'll happily send a smallish quantity of my own seed saved from last season - "Aeron Purple Star". *I've grown them with modest success over the last several years & they are scrummy! (& stringless to boot!). Might I suggest that you pm address etc to me?

    Oooh yes please 🙏 😃

    @David Matthews2 - thank you, that's a very kind offer, but I was able to get some delivered in the end.  Surprisingly, the florist in my village sells vegetable seeds and had everything I was looking for.  She also delivered some multipurpose compost so I'm well set up...   :)
