What Franchi seeds do you recommend? Out in Italy in January and plan on getting borlottis but as they're cheaper (and more generous) over there thought I'd try a few other varieties. I'm in the south of England so that helps a bit on the tenderness front.
The seeds are a LOT cheaper in Italy, I paid 99 cents for each packet I bought recently. I woud recommend buying whatever you like, or something you want to try. The amount of seeds in each packets is a lot compared to what you get here.
I bought some scorzonera to try this year [ I keep putting them in my online basket usually, then deleting], some bitter leaves/lettuce and a different variety of celery that's usually used in soups there and some other stuff.
I usually buy their cucumber seeds and their zucchini seeds, and I know I have rocket somewhere in my pile of seeds...And heir flat leaf parsley, but I am not great at growing that...
