I only ever grow a few cucumbers each year, so I saved the rest of the
packet and palnted the remainder this year, more than three weeks ago.
The seed have not germinated. Do cucumber seeds have a short viable
lifetime? I have packs of other types of seeds from way-back-when and
these
seem to be viable for years.

Hi Andy,
Funny you should say that, I have had the same problem.
After inspection I noticed that the seed itself has gone soft. I think my
case is that I have over watered them or the temperature has been to low for
germination as we have had some severe frosts down this neck of the woods.
I'm going to try again this weekend, fingers crossed they will germinate
this time

Regards
