Possible stupid question seeds...
Hi there. I used to post here once in a while a few years ago. It's been
quite a while. :-) Here is my question. I found some seeds in a drawer that I forgot that I had. They are all packaged for 2003. Are they still worth planting? I have very little experience planting seeds, so I thought I'd ask here before I put forth the effort. TIA! |

Hey Cassandra!
Some seeds remain viable for a long time, some don't. What have you got??????? Sue "Cassandra Cox" wrote ... Hi there. I used to post here once in a while a few years ago.

Set aside a square foot of space in a good location, rake the soil a
little and sprinkle the seeds. If you get something -- great! Otherwise, let neighbouring plants devour that space. :) |

I have very little experience planting seeds, so I thought I'd ask here before I put forth the effort. The germination rate of seeds generally drops over time, but most are good for several years and some for decades (or even centuries). The 'packed for X season' isn't an expiration date. |
