Hello fellow Seedies!

 

A friend emailed me with the following request.  Can anyone out there help out ~ I have not had these before and would be interested in getting some for both my friend & myself, if possible.

 

 

>Hi Maz,

>I was wondering if you could help me, I am looking for the "tweed wonder" bean seed which I got from my uncle and grew for a long time, yet with moving around I lost the seed and I am keen to get >some more. I thought you might be the best person to ask. I am keen to buy some if you have any or know of someone who would have it.

.

 

>The bean grew as a dwarf bush approx. 2 foot high,  the pod was green and grew appros 6-8inch long, the dried bean was brown/red in colour with a white dot, you ate the green pod,  Our great uncle Roy >grew them in Bellingen on a north facing hill side and sold them in Sydney as the first beans of the spring season, He passed on the seed but after 20 years  have now lost them.

>Would be great if you find out any news or even better some seed.

 

 

>Look forward to hearing from you

>regards, Julie
