Topic: seed ID

[brown thumb]

 Can any one help with a seed ID PLEASE  i received a small plastic zippy bag from a seed parcel or swap, The seeds are rounded on top flat on the bottom, black in colour about the size of a sweetpea  seed,, and the seed leaves are similar to a globe artichoke but  not identical and the seed is different    ,any ideal s

[brown thumb]

More of a up date the first pair of true leaves have a slight speckled / spotted affect to them  and are  glossy smooth , more up dates to follow

A picture paints a thousand words.

[brown thumb]

LOL  I am not able to post photos   , not very computer knowledge able

[goodlife]

Are your seeds from this year's seed parcel?

[brown thumb]

no  last years they came in a small zippy bag, never got around last year to sowing them, and other things as well .

[goodlife]

Was there many seeds in a packet?
I wonder if they are Jayb's succotash beans?

[goodlife]

Succotash beans...sorry for bad photo but you should get the idea if they are those

[goodlife]

Oh..I can remember there being small packet or borage! But I cannot remember in what kind of bag..those are bit funny shaped seeds, not quite as bit as sweet peas though..but they are black

[brown thumb]

No i think the bit that was attached to the pod / seed case was the under side which i am saying was the flat  bit the top was completely  round but their fast growers ,  what ever they are

[brown thumb]

they` ve now developed a trailing sprawling habit .i still don't recognize them

Brown Thumb have you googled it. Someone I know posted aveg picture on facebook for me to try & identify . I googled seedling identification & thought it looked like a cucumber but she had said it was a cabbage or a flower. I saw her the other day & she said she now thinks it's a cucumber as that's the only thing unlabeled. You never know you might spot something .

If it was from the Seed Circle, I think you took part in the extra parcel? Here's a list of what it contained, perhaps it will help narrow down the options.

Sweet Pea

What to the leaves look like?

[goodlife]

Skånsk Märgärt peas are 'normal' green sort.

[brown thumb]

The leaves are smooth and mottled  more spotted   not like bean or pea leaf  shape but oval one plant did look if was going to trail but decided against it there were not many in a bag about 7 which has come up   and they were in a small zippy bag like the Russian blue potato  seeds

[grannyjanny]

Cerithe major have mottle leaves & I think they are sweet pea sized seeds. Is that a possibility or are they a veg seed?

[grannyjanny]

Just ignore my previous post . I've looked at the list & it's all veg seed.

[brown thumb]

there were flower seeds included as i have corncockle from the same source /same type  of zippy bag. and when i googled the adult plant shown had very similar leaf shape colour and markings so  has the mystery been solved and were there there any seeds of this plant included in the seed swap
