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?

Beans are very hardy (not so little!) seeds. I'm still using a packet of
Painted Lady runner beans that my neighbour gave me when we moved in. They
went out of date in 1998.
