I have beans from HGS.
I bought them in May 2007
They were very good about shipping, very very fast.
I ordered the White Widow and the Afghan.
The seeds came in these packages.
I grew the WW first.
I only planted two seeds and they were both girls.
They were not consistent in phenotype
and the one plant that was not like a WW also hermeid.
I contacted HGS by email and explained what happened
and they offered to replace the WW
or let me have some of their new strain, called Purple Cindy.
I chose the PC.
I planted 6 and have just sprouted 4.
I expect the other two beans to sprouts in another day or so.
It has very good genetic background and is the hot ticket right now.
It is an HGS only strain and probably is very good.

I am also growing the Afghan from HGS, right now.
I have just started week 6
HGS no longer offers the Afghan strain I have.
Two of the three Afghans appear to be the same phenotype.
One plant is different from the other two.

Afghan

I would recommend that you jump on PC today!
