Seed circle mystery - SarrissUK - 05-02-2025
I am in full swing sowing seeds, and a LOT of it is from our seed circle here.
I came across a packet this morning, one of those triangular ones that have been folded out of a piece of paper. The label has rubbed off onto something else, so I have no idea what they are.
So, join me in this mystery collaborative. The evidence are as following:
The seed packet was folded out of a gardeners world magazine.
The seeds are black beans with a little white dot on the belly.
Google searches come up with black beans/turtle beans.
Search on this forum doesn't bring up any seed circle posts that mention turtle or black beans.
I will hold off sowing them, as it's only just February.
The plot thickens.

Probably came from SC as she's the queen of folded packets. I'll have a look at my seeds.

Can you send a picture of the beans?

Maybe Cherokee Trail of tears?
RE: Seed circle mystery - Small chilli - 05-02-2025
Possibly yin yang from me. Agree with JJB a photo of beans would be very handy.

This is what they look like:

I have yin yang beans and they have much more white on them, so I knew they weren't that type.
Mystery solved - thank you all!
