Pliny found this advice.
Oh joy. This morning I posted my order to the Heritage Seed Library for some beans and peas and got home to find a bubble envelope on the doorstep that made a 'shishing' sound when I shook it - the Kokopelli consignment! Aubergine 'Slim Jim' & 'Apple Green', Tomatoes 'Omar's Lebanese', 'Pineapple', 'Golden Queen' & 'Yellow Ruffles'. Cucumber 'Armenian Snake'. Hot pepper 'Chimayo' and 'Zia Pueblo'.'Hubbard Anna Schwarz' Squash and 'Solaize Blue' Leeks.
Now I just need a goat.

I'm still trying to narrow down my selection from the HSL catalogue - the choice of peas and beans is enormous! another purple podded? the medieval pea that can be made into pease puddin' ? beans that have little monks on them? another happy evening in front of the fire with a glass of ginger wine is called for!!!
Will muntjac droppings do?
