I planted a tray of yin-yang beans, saved from the plants I grew a few years ago- I was expecting awful germination, as something had managed to get in the jar they were stored in, and ate bits out of a few. But I planted some that looked whole, and 9 from 12 have come up. That's fine, except... only one of them appears to have a leaf. The rest have sprouted up, but if you look inside the two 'bean halves', where the leaf shoot should come from, there's just a little brown stub. It's been over a week, and only that one looks like it's doing anything.
Is it likely to be something I've done? They're inside on a very sunny windowsill, so I don't think they've been chilled. Could this be a problem with the beans from storage?
Lastly, is it likely that anything will happen if I leave 'em? I'm very short of windowsill space, so I don't want to keep hopeless cases, but I really would like to grow some.
Thanks for any info/advice!
