Hey one of you gardening forumers sent us some Big Beans, and none of them have come up… should we soak ‘em first, or scratch the surface?

Was that me? Brown speckly ones? I’ve no idea because I was given my plant already germinated.

Have a google on Madagascar Beans.

OK which beans?

Most smart planters of large bean seeds like broad beans etc, will soak the seed before planting and know to be patient.

I’ll ask the lady who gave it to me. They had been sitting in my pantry for a long while so I hope they’re still good.

I’ve done a quick google and they should germinate easily. Straight in the ground, within 3 to 10 days. Bugga damn.

I know the lady who gave it to me pretty well so I could probably get some fresher seeds.

She got hers off Annette McFarlane with the instructions to share them around.

She said hers only had about a 25% germination rate too, so just keep trying. She just stuck them in the ground and waited.

Patience is a virtue if all the parameters are met without you particpating.
