Good afternoon all,
I planted some old french beans this year, the ones that germinated were called Calan Roman (sp?), but I can't find anything online about them.
They were just in a plastic packet (so probably from an old seed circle I was part of years back) and I used the information from another bought packet for sowing and planting but now I'm unsure what type they are for support etc.
I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of these and had any information? If it helps, the dried beans were a sort of burgundy-purple colour with black flecks. The plants are only about 7" high but have already had a couple of flowers - I think these were off-white.
On the plus side, approx 70% germination from beans at least 7 years old isn't bad going! One to keep for next year if they're nice.
