They’re supposed to be 6 inches (ish) tall.
Mine are more like 24 inches.
They’re lovely in a salad (when I’m trying to impress!) - but I’ve  also been able to use them in little posies

I'd be happy with lemon gem, it would give me a chage from orange ones,  so yes please. My orange gem are over a foot tall and even more wide  6" ? Bah, not happening Smile

Maybe some carnations and nasturtium, if this rain hasn't made that impossible. Not sure anything else grew well enough!
Well, I seem to have fewer Jacob's than I remembered. They're out unless everyone wants three beans....

I would have enough Meuch and Tresnjevac, grown on from Scarlet's beans a couple years ago. Would that be ok? I feel embarrassed sending someone else's beans back!

Depending on how many are still dryng on the plants, I might have Monte Gusto beans too (a yellow variety from one of the crazy cheap T&M bargain boxes).

The nasturtium harvesting is slow going but I hold out hope.

Three beans of Jacobs fine with me, it's a new one to me.

No need for embarrassment, DJ. Its all about keeping seed varieties going by saving & offering fresh seeds. We'll accept anything in this swap, even if its just one seed each. Big Grin

I forgot to look. However, I should definitely be able to offer giant tomatillos and marrowfat peas. I don't think I can offer the nice apricot flower runner beans as I've done a bad job of keeping them off the ground so the slugs have found them. Still hopeful for the hollyhocks if the seeds haven't all fallen already. Cosmos and nasturtiums will be mixed, but still worth a try for anyone who isn't too fussy about exact varieties!
Formerly self-contained, but expanding my gardening horizons beyond pots!

You ladies are saying all the magic words ! Beans, marrow fat peas 100% yes please and the added bonus of flowers yes yes and more yes. Nothing to be embarrassed about. The fact you’re joining in is more than enough. I’m with veggie, I’d be very happy with one seed  Cool . Especially from things I’ve not grown before like the fore mentioned beans & peas  Smile
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

Just thinking about packaging seeds..............if, like DJ, you only have one bean per person, would it help if that bean was put in a packet of something visually different like nasturtiums? The seed packet would name both seeds (and I don't mean Jacob and Nancy). Most of us are bright enough to work out which is which. Wink

As many as three! Unless others join.......

Sounds like a logical solution to keep things manageable and sensible. Unless that makes you want to change your mind?  Big Grin

I know how much you like making seed packets, DJ, so don't want to spoil your fun with this suggestion. Big Grin

I have been thinking about seed packets for two years! I must make them true works of art this time! Or at least not genuine rubbish...
