Hodmedod's have started a "Pulse Club" that costs £25 every two months - although it can be cancelled or suspended whenever you like. For your £25, you receive a collection of unusual pulses that aren't available in sufficient quantity to sell normally.
In #15 above, I said that I'd joined the Pioneers Club and have been receiving £20 of vouchers every month. I've just "spent" some of these vouchers by joining the "Pulse Club". (still with me?).
The Pulse Club bundle includes:-
Scarlet Runner beans
Naked Fava Beans
Borlotti
Whole Yellow peas
Brown Winter peas
Olive green lentils
Whole Carlin peas
Wholemeal Lentil flour.
It has dawned on me that, by buying dried beans & peas from Hodmedod, I am saving myself the annual heartache of trying to grow beans and peas for drying - as I always fail! Henceforth, I will only grow beans and peas for eating fresh, in the pod.
The keen eyes amongst you will have realised that Scarlet Runner beans are your commonly grown Runner beans so I can grow these for eating "green" and the same with the "Borlotti" beans - so that's 2 packets of seed that I don't need to buy!
The Carlin peas are good for pea shoots as well as cooking.
My New Challenge is to eat my way through some of my dried bean store!! Need to make room for incoming supplies.
