Now is this the bean stalk or the giant you are trying to grow

What type of giant veg?

Hi yeh not really a market for the show veg seeds over here. I,ve never come across any suppliers other than UK. It will only take a couple of days from order.

I presume you are growing to show?

Reason I ask is the show/giant veg seed has been developed for its size but in doing so has lost a lot of the flavour and texture of normal crop veg.
I've grown giant onions before (UK seed someone gave me) look great and everyone is gobsmacked at seeing a football sized onion but just balls of water with minimal flavour.

Good luck though and don't forget to stick a picture up of your beach ball cabbage and your trophy.

Brilliant they'll get a kick out of that.

You have to put some peas in I still remember helping my grandad collect veg from the garden and how good it was eating fresh peas straight off the plant. I was about four (quite a while ago but still a very clear memory) and always ate more than I collected for some reason..
