Ok seed question with pic
« on: March 01, 2014, 13:16 »
Ok last year I grew nautica french beans saved some seeds on the right of the pic, ordered more from amazon and recieved the ones on the left.

Don't look strange at all to me. In fact I can see nothing at all!  :tongue2: :lol:
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

The ones on the right are definitely French Beans (I grow Delinel which look exactly like that).

I have no idea what the ones of the left are ???

They look a bit like pea beans, albeit not quite the same colour:

I thought that too, Dave; but BQ's seeds are a more orange colour.

They are the weirdest looking seed I have ever seen, cross now as I loved these beans but goodness knows what I will get with these. Next question

Should I bother even trying or bin them.  :wacko:

I did remark on that, but it could be the lighting! Are they orangy in real life BQ?

They might be very nice, BQ. 

Ying Yang beans are very similar too but black and white.

Pic of Nautica seeds

Yours seem more norty than nautica!  ::)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Painted pony look too long and banana shape, these are terracota if anything and smooth but not at all like what they are meant to be
