    Hi all.

    I'm looking at growing some as I love them in a chilli :) Only problem is that I've looked on various sites and can't find them anywhere, am I missing something?
    do they have some odd name?
    are they mystical beans that only come in tins and packets?
    could I grow them fron the dried ones you can buy in supermarkets?

    :skp::scratch::cnfs::halp:

    any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

    I have thought of doing that too, soaking them overnight and any that look like sprouting pot up.
