Thanks Joe. That's a great idea. I noticed that I could germinate coriander seed that I bought at a local Asian food store. Much cheaper than a pack of seeds from a garden shop. I also keep spare potatoes and plant them, and my very best potato production this year came from a bag of sprouting Maris Peers that my girl friend was throwing out. I grabbed them as she tried to put them in the bin and cut them in half. I cropped a measured 49 pounds of perfect salad potatoes out of 20 plants in 9 square yards of garden. I was pretty amazed they were the best potatoes I ever grew by far. I take it the beans were being marketed as 'Field Beans' or did they have some foodie name? Tony Hey! Thanks Joe.

I actually got mine in a 1lb bag for 60 pence from Spice of Life Wholefood Shop in Cardiff whilst visiting my step-daughter back along. Way, way cheaper than the offerings from garden centres and in reality no difference in the product. So there's the clue I think - go to a wholefood store and purchase your desired quantity of field beans from them at a snip. The same applies to fenugreek and alfalfa, though I reckon they're better sown in the warmer months than where we are now. Good luck and let me know how you get on. Best wishes, Joe Dear Tony,

The usual gardening people sell tiny amounts and I want about three kg. I contacted Wherrys and the smallest quantity they sell is 50kg - a bit much for an allotment - fine for the farm. I was hoping they might produce some edibles for my hens by spring - ether greenstuff or maybe protein rich beans. Hi,
