Runner Bean Seeds!!!!!

[Nobbyman]

Hello all - Another stupid question I'm sure but.......

I planted me runner bean seeds out in pots 2 weeks ago yesterday ready for transplanting to my plot!!

But there is still no sign of life!!!  ???

Is this normal, do I abandon or keep the faith?

under cover or not? depends on the temperatures outside but it has been unseasonally warm for many, maybe gently have a peek to see what's happening and there's plenty of time to sow more

I planted mine a couple of weeks ago half up and half still waiting for (I have had a naughty peek and there ok!! won't be too long now) ::)

[Nobbyman]

ooh yer so impatient you had to peep!!

[sawfish]

plant more now just in case.

I checked on Sat morning and all the seeds had gone mouldy!!!

So i have sowed a new batch!!

They don't seem to like the seed compost too wet after the initial soaking, but I could be wrong about this...

As with all beans and other large flat seeds, planting them on their sides makes some difference i reckon.
