hi guys , is it possible to use dried mixed beans from shop and plant them ?

[mumofstig]

you wouldn't know whay you were growing 

At least if you buy single variety pkts you'll know what they are

Some of the varieties might be completely unsuited to the British climate.

Proper named seed is inexpensive if you shop around. Or perhaps you like surprises

You won't know if they're climbers or a mix!
However they probably will grow......I tried some Rosecoco/Borlotti last year bought from the International store and they were fine...just didn't plant enough......season's a bit short here though for "foreign" beans.....
