Title: Can you I.D.?
Post by: singingrhubarb 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?

Who was the supplier?

I did a search for CARPMAA and this came up, could it be these?

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.

Cheers

are they carrot or brassica seed or even lettuce then it might helps to narrow it down

Mr Winecap,

I think you have nailed it.
