Default planning next years garden

One packet that I recall... otherwise fine. How do you store your seed
prior to planting? Do you prime?


They're stored in a sealed plastic box with a rechargeable dessicent and a
humidity gauge.


Was the problem with legume seed? What's the RH and temperature?

I don't recall which seeds. This goes back at least 8 or 9 years. All I can
tell you is that it did NOT involve seeds which are known for being harder
to deal with, like impatiens or petunias.

RH in my storage box hovers between 15% and 20%. Temp about 70 F. Under
these conditions, lettuce seeds last me 3-4 years, for example.
