Good evening friends! How are you? I'm looking for more help in tracking down a few Irish varieties for his gardens back home in Chicago in his community to commemorate his late grandfather from his father's side and to remember his community's past. The Irish came to my community in the 1840s or 1850s and had a church called St Patrick a couple of centuries ago. Here are a few varieties.
1. Gortork cabbage
2. Rosscoff cauliflower
3. Uncle John's Kale
4. Tippary turnip
5. Irish brown bean
6. Irish broad bean
Those are my main targets right now, and I'm trying to find ways to bring those to America without the obstacles that come my way. I don't have any folks I know that are from Ireland and is there a way to obtain them somehow? If there's anybody in the Permies community to aid me, please let me know. Good night!

You could try brown envelope seeds, They seem to list a few of the varieties you are looking for and don't say they don't ship abroad....
