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?

TIA


Thanks to all respondents
I'll see what germinates and work from there!
I too remember my grandmother having jars of salted runners put away for
winter use.
I seem to remember they tasted a little different, but not particularly
salty IIRC.
