1500 year old Cave beans - Veggie - 26-12-2025
Premier Seeds are selling 1500 year old Cave beans. Hope they're still viable.
https://premierseedsdirect.com/product/bean-1500-year-cave-bean/
Joking aside, they look interesting and at a good price - £1.39 for 30 beans. A big difference to She Grows Veg who want £5.50 for 30 beans! https://shegrowsveg.com/product/french-bean-1500-yr-old-cave-bean/
Has anyone grown these? Need to know before I invest in some!

I saw those on she grows veg website and thought they looked interesting. But like you, I ran screaming from the price. Good to know they’re available elsewhere for considerably less.

You wonder how they can justify such a markup.!

They run all those competitions and you never see any evidence of anyone winning. They do rename things to make them sound new and exciting. Something just doesn’t sit quite right. Like you say a massive mark up on their seeds. Starting to sound like a couple of other suppliers we know!

I'll be honest, they've never tempted me. Too many pretty pictures and catchy names. Reminds me of the James Wong seeds.
