Put some old seeds into seed raising mixture to see if any of them
are viable. Hopefully some will be and I can get a new supply
without paying outlandish prices for heirloom varieties.


SO what was the results of the old seed trial? I have found its a
bit of a lottery when I plant things I have left over but I often
get a few starts so will never cast them aside without at least
giving them a try. Mike

To be polite NFG. SWMBO tossed the seeds yesterday. The Jalapenos that
survived last winter are still doing well. Nice and hot the cillies
not the weather.


Heh! Good to see someone else using 'NFG'. That's what I write on computer
parts that don't work so if I don't get rid of them quickly and stumble
across them again I know not to bother testing....


BUT you still test them just in case they have recovered since you last
tested. At least that's what I tend to do.
