Hello

I am currently growing my crop of climing beans (Blue Lake Variety) in
individual pots, indoors.

However, the rate of germination has been very poor. Currently only
about 30% of the total planted are successfully germinating. Can anyone
tell me if this is about normal for this variety, or should I go and buy
another batch.

Thanks

Wat temp are you germinating at? Beans like 75-85F to germinate. Who was
the supplier of the beans?
