Title: Out of date seeds
Post by: Linda Tal on January 14, 2005, 22:44:34
Do you think its worth trying with some seeds I have been given?  They are a mix of flowers and vegetables and some of them are upto 5 years old!  I don't want to waste my time if they are definitely not going to germinate ???

Some will, some won't.  I can't stand to bin seeds, no matter how old and would give them a go, just sow thicker than you would normally.  ;D
