Calypso performance
Planted the day after arrival with other beans. Maybe 20 percent came up a disappointment. Have planted other beans in their place.

Seed no good.
The Jacob’s Cattle where not viable. This makes my third time using Thresh seed and no luck yet.
I planted 300 seed and only 11 germinated.
I will not bother buying these again.
