Beanz Meanz

On our journey back to Porto Airport after our holiday in Galicia we stopped off at the market in Viana Do Castelo where we found this stall that was selling loose seeds. 
.
We bought a cup full of seeds that were labelled  feijao trepar... which we think means climbing bean in Portuguese, but are most likely to be butter bean seeds.
.
I can't recall ever seeing these bean seeds being offered for sale by any of the UK seed merchants !
.
We like growing beans down on The Patch, particularly those that can be dried and used over the Winter months, so these will be a useful addition.
