DD, apparently that is a particular variety of whatever it's supposed to be. But for the life of me I can't find the name.

Oh seeds, yeah!  lol  I save my tomato seeds and chilli seeds, but this year I've planted some lemon drop chillies in the big greenhouse with no other chilllies around so they don't cross pollinate, and a couple in my small greenhouse, so they don't, but if I save any seeds from the varieties in the polytunnel, they could turn into anything!!!

I don't usually bother with veg seeds as they are so cheap, but I always save my runner beans and last year saved a few broad beans but Brian ate most of the beans!!!!

I don't know how you could suggest such a thing!!

That photo was part of my first ever post on this forum! It's a cross between a trailing marrow & a pumpkin that grew side by side.

The seeds were saved from a trailing marrow & when the piccie was taken the fruit were about 12" long.
