My sister gave me some mange tout seeds which produce tall plants with yellow pods. Hers didn't germinate and she asked me to save her some, which I duly did. I put them in a barn to finish drying and when I looked this week they'd all been eaten by mice! :oops:

I don't know what variety they were and neither does she. This isn't sounding good, is it?

If anyone has any idea what they might be, and where I can get them, I would be very grateful for the information.

I got mine from Real Seeds a couple of years ago. They look pretty and are very prolific, but I didn't think they tasted as sweet as some of the green ones I grow.

Sorry about the mice.

Thanks, PlumPudding, I rather liked the taste and I really liked being able to see them when I was picking them!
