In case anyone is interested, I found some very large runner beans and marrows bred by Richard Hope on Medwyns Seed Co. in the UK. They are good seeds if they were bred by Richard Hope, and it's a reputable website as well. I ordered mine this morning! I also found some guy on ebay selling the two same exact things, but he wanted a lot more money for them.
