I grew blue lake last year, and a dwarf variety I can't remember the name of. This year Cobra and Safari, with 100% germination. I started them in seed trays in my plastic greenhouse outside, no pre-soaking or cutting into the seeds, and they took about 2 weeks to appear. They were planted around the 19th April, now in pots and about 4 inches high. I frequently forgot to water them enough as well.
I didn't realise people had trouble with beans germinating, so I'd guess it's a dodgy or out of date batch. I can probably send you a few of my seeds if you like, I'm limited for space so I can only grow a few. |
