My brain damage bean I purchased nearly 5 years ago. It was one of the first seeds I ever purchased as I was drawn by the name and the image of crazy frost on the box. 5 years on I'm a bit wiser than I was then and do not expect the frost . Having said that I'm super impressed it germinated at all. 5 years in my fridge and it opened after just 30 hours.
First 12 hours was in a glass of water and humic acid. Then I to paper towels for another 20 hours . Tap roots showed and into a nursery pot until breach..
