Hi all

Started planting up some veg (indoors in pots) last night.
Came across packets of last years runners and broad beans.
The beans had darkened somewhat and one or two were "fusty" (the fusty
ones were not used).
What's the chances of these germinating on a window sill in peat pots?

That's a bit early isn't it? Won't plant our Beans until the beginning of
May for planting out Chelsea week.
Beans usually last for years if kept cold and dry, may dry out a bit and
need soaking in water for 24 hrs.


I keep mine in the frig!
