Yes! Just soapwort and a note saying "Can be invasive".
From the FB site:-
Soapwort
Soapwort can become invasive spreading by underground rhizomes. Unless you are harvesting the roots to make soap, it is recommended that you plant soapwort either in containers or use barriers around the plants to prevent the rhizomes from spreading. Soapwort is easily grown from seed.

It looks weedy on Chilterns but doesn't
Mention being invasive?

Its probably invasive in the same way as mint is. I've grown it before and don[t remember it being a problem - maybe I moved house before it was
I'm going to grow it to try making liquid soap from the roots..............that's the plan anyway.

I grew them once on my old plot where they prospered, had huge foliage and loads of spuds. I also like them as chips with skins on or boiled the same as they are too fidldly to peel or scrape!

I have been surprisingly restrained for me, I've only picked up two packets this week from Wilko:
Spinach "America" 25p
Tomato"Golden Sunrise" 75p
I'm still debating whether or not to order some unusual beans for shelling. I already have Yin Yang and Gigantes, but I fancy a couple more. Postage charges are putting me off haha.

Why don't you try growing some supermarket/wholefood store dried beans?
