Default Dried Lima Beans not Viable for Planting

After TWO weeks?

Those "seeds" are DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!




Maybe, maybe not. Under proper temperature and moisture conditions they
should have sprouted in 5-6 days, if they are viable but too dry or cool
they could very well take several weeks to sprout, if ever.

Having said that, most likely they were heat treated if they were intended
to be used for food. FWIW there are some seeds that can take *years* to
sprout...
