One of the Swedish Brown seeds (network bean) did not have leaves, only cotyledons. One cotyledon was brown and the other was white. This was started indoors (eta: no nibbles). Several others were stunted with malformed leaves. I took the liberty to cull them. The rest look fine. @Bluejay77
Yeah I get that same thing when bean plants emerge from the soil when I direct seed. Some just seem to be missing the first true leaves. Nothing between the cotyledons. It has happened to me this year on seed I grew new last year. I also pick the nicest looking seeds to plant so you just never know. Not everything is 100%.
