Beans thousands of years old found in archeological digs in the Middle East
have been sprouted...you should have no problem ;-)

That's what I figure... :)

I had some giant red beans I'd been trying to grow in the garden, but
the yield has been poor. They were sent to me by a friend. They are a
few generations down from some that were planted by a team of college
students that removed them from an Aztec archeological site. I don't
remember there exact age. I used to have the typed up file on them that
came with them, but lost it in a hard drive crash...

I don't have any more of the beans. The last batch I planted did not
produce any. Just long vines and pretty red flowers.
