Topic: Are my seed no good.

[cacran]

I sowed some seeds onto kitchen paper over a week ago. I have them on a sunny window sill . I keep them damp and nothing has happened. All the seeds were out of date. Should I assume they are no good?

try putting them in the airing cupboard again on damp paper this may help the germination  if not then yes the chances are the seed is baron hope this helps

What seeds are we talking about?

[cacran]

Most of them are veg seeds and a few flowers. I had loads of out of date packs to use up, so thought it might be worth a try. Nothing lost if they don't come up. I thought that after a week I would have seen at least some shoots.

We can advise if you are a bit more specific.  Which flowers, which veg? How much out of date?

Beans for example go sticky if they are out of date
