Virgin gardener needs container veg help!
In article ,
says... In message , Rebecca writes 6. Also, I read somewhere to keep extra unused seeds for next year in the fridge. Sounds bizarre....or is it true? Yes. The majority of seeds - non-recalcitrant seeds - retain the ability to germinate longer if kept chilled. (If I understand correctly seed banks store seeds frozen.) But store the seeds in an airtight container to keep them dry - letting them get damp is not a good idea. (I'd have my doubts as to whether freezing pea and bean seeds was a safe practice.) I think when freezing seeds its a question of how you freeze them and that for us without the correct kit it would not be a good idea, a fridge is ok but so is a cool dark place -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
