Can you I.D.?
« on: March 21, 2017, 16:47:58 »
Found, in a drawer, an opened packet of seed bearing the name CARPMAA. I can't remember what they are. Please could somebody identify them?

My suggestion is that they could be carrots.

CARrot  variety Paris MARket giving CARPMAR possibly, rather than CARPMAA?

As a double check Google some images of carrot seed. Carrot seed have an easily recognised shape. Tee Gee's suggestion is also a good possibility. Cabbage seed would have that typical brassica look - tiny dark and round in shape.
