The old guys house is nearly empty now and they have started on the three garages. My daughter came home yesterday with a box she found, it had some regular seeds packets of assorted stuff but there was a tin with about 2 lbs of his bean !!!! I don't know how old but I am going to test them tomorrow.
I will share if they work out.
Oh and also in the box was a packet o,d Scarlet runner beans,the packet was unopened ,in pristine condition and and dated 1988. I have them pinned up in my workroom.
They also brought me two clumps of what they thought were chives and garlic chives. One is actually garlic that has perennialised in his garden and I am pretty sure the other clump is leeks that have done the same. We quickly found them a spot, they look pretty sad but hopefully they will some back next year. My daughter said the patch was as big as a garage.
