Notes

If you are planning to plant a garden this spring, consider saving your Old Seed packet. Although seeds are not good for more than three years, they can still be used to start a new garden. The best way to test if a packet is good for planting is to germinate it. To do this, simply moisten several paper towels with water and put the seeds on top. Once the paper towels have absorbed some of the water, the seeds should sprout.
If the seed is older than three years, it should be discarded. It is best to store it in a cool, dry place. Old Seed is better to avoid humid or warm conditions when storing seeds. If the seeds look yellowish, they should be thrown away as a whole packet. However, if you can't do that, you can try testing it in an Oregon seed laboratory. The company offers a service that allows you to test the vigour of your seeds, and can provide you with a certificate of authenticity.

To check if a seed is still viable, you can use a simple test to see if it is viable. Using a wet paper towel and ten seeds will give you a good idea of whether or not a seed is viable. To perform the test, simply place the wet paper towel and the seeds on it. Then, place the baggie and the paper towel in a sealed plastic bag. Then, you can check your seeds by observing the growth of the seedling.
