I do also believe these are ok. Bean mosaic shows as narrowed leaves and darker green patches on these leaves. Google has photos. Yours are evenly coloured.

Super photos.

And such lovely sharp photos too.

Here too (thanks for telling me about the post Decoy). Showing sweet pea Enigma which is cream with pinkish red edging that later turned more and more red. This photo is from last year, but I had exactly the same this year. Early flowers were cream, later ones almost solid red. At first I...

These may be the more useful purchase, if they can be found outside of the UK...

Neither had I flowerbug, which is why I was so surprised that I got a report of it. I found it difficult to advise, but assured the lady that the beans had been in the freezer and that it probably was 'something in the soil'. Turns out, it wasn't, but when Artorius mentioned the Delia fly, I...

Thank you Artorius. I had a query recently about bean seeds that 'had maggots in them'. I had never heard of such a thing and the seeds had been in the freezer, so should be fine, but after your comment, I researched the Delia fly. I think this is the problem this grower had. Thank you for...

Hewitt is also productive.

Thank you very much, will try that. A covered container is needed, I had an open one last year. Yes it is autumn olive, the tiny red quite sharp fruits. Could not take our bushes to Germany, but the seeds and would like to grow some here from the fruit that did so well in England.

Olmeca F1 Olmeca F1, good luck with the seedlings. You might also look for Kumato which is very similar or the same. https://www.seednet.eu.com/product/1323/olmeca.html

I woul I would like to cold stratify my oleagnus. Tried last year with pots outside over winter, but no germination. The rest of the seeds are still in the freezer. Are these seeds now already enabled by their freezer slumber? Should I sow them in warmth now? Or try again with pots in the...
