Dear Chantal, what veg would you adopt then.

I think I'd have to go for a French Climbing Bean called Polish Purple Stringless
French beans are a great favourite and most of my family are Polish so there you are.
An you OH?

Here are a few suggestions for appropriate adoptions:
Old Herbacious - Broad Bean Bonny Lad (cos he is

)
Tigger - Tomato Tiger Tom
Johnboy - Bean Dragon's Tongue (suitable if anyone mentions SA

)
Monika - Lettuce Northern Queen
Jopsy - Pea Glory of Devon
Lizzie - Tomato White Princess
and I suppose I'd have to go for any of the leeks
Anyone dare suggest adopters for District Nurse, Lazy Housewife, Small thin red hot pepper,or long green Buddha?

Dear Alan, i did have someone for lazy housewife, but then i realized you had already got one for Lizzie.
I don't know if Seedling would be offended by the Small thin red hot pepper.
We just need someone for District Nurse an Long green Buddha now.
Forgot to look to see if there was one for Grockodile.
I was just thinking, i wonder if that is why Chantal is so good at Pole dancing.

OH, there is a huge difference between pole dancing and dancing Poles.
I'm actually half German to be honest, but the town in which my father was born is now in Poland. It's very confusing.
I suppose pea, Prince of Prussia is probably more accurate.

I think I would like to be 'Pea - Lancashire Lad' as Lancashire is my county of origin, and I am truly a Lancashire Lad.
Nice one
