Hi,

I was cleaning out some drawers and I found a packet of tomato seeds
from 1991. Are they still viable?

If they are, is August a good time to start tomatoes in La Mesa, Ca?

Thank you for your time,

Karen R.


Tomato seeds are good for about 7 years. After that, they start to
degrade, but I'll bet a few of them are still OK. (just might not have
a lot of vigor)

August is a terrible time to start them. Wait until March. :-)
