What seeds are these?

If it is Basil - the next question is - which of the 60+ varieties is it?

More than likely Sweet Genovese. People don't give away more expensive rarer seeds.

Yup, that's the one I have and was comparing with.

They look a bit like some sort of Allium seed to me. They are very simliar to my home saved wild garlic seeds from last year.

OOOH! I can think of a good game involving swapping mystery seeds with other grapes and planting surprises! Or I am just a bit bored as the rest of my family are out?! Well, I still think it sounds like fun

I would say Basil as well, just not sure on the variety.

[Chippy Minton]

Little brown ones.

[Newton]

And bigger.

Whooooooooo!!!!!

Yeah, you'll all really like my "Vietnamese Coriander" !

The plant that grew instead of coriander was so controversial the thread was deleted

[veggiechicken]

Was that the bush in the front garden - or was that someone else's mystery seed?

Or was it composted

[taff]

Yes, and when it was composting, it was smokin' hot!

They are broadly oval with flattened sides, browny black.

I sowed some salvia today, and they looked just like your mystery seeds
