Thank you for the awesome video~ Your tests are very reassuring Over the years I've seen my father have next to no trouble with seed germination, The only times being Broad beans (Fava beans) that had been left in a wet place and carrot seeds last year when we had an unusually hot and dry summer The storage method he has always used is basically none at all. The seeds go from an unheated stone building which stays around 8`C through the winter, right into a greenhouse as soon as planting time rolls around in spring, They stay in there all through summer and autumn (the door is always open through the day and closed at night) until everything in the greenhouse dies off and then they go back into the stone outbuilding for the winter This is by no means me saying this is a good practice, but I've seen 3 or 4 year old seed packets in his seed box and I've never seen a bare patch on his garden It's good to see that some seeds last even in adverse conditions, the resilience of nature is an amazing thing Thank you for all your hard work, Best of luck with your gardening season, Please keep up the hard work I hope everyone is having a lovely day, Have a wonderful rest of your week, Be safe and Take care out there wherever you are (^=W=^)7 Edit- (I should also mention this is in the UK so potentially colder than many places around the world)
Appreciate the info! It is always good to hear other’s experiences in the garden. During the growing season, I probably keep my seeds out of “perfect” conditions for longer than I should, but it helps me plant to see everything out and organized for months. Happy growing! 🌱 💚
Nice! We eat a lot things in the brassica family, but it can be hard to save seeds from them because they crossbreed so easily you really should have just one type going to seed any season. It’s nice to know they can last for 10+ years.
I had some aster seeds from 2017. (I store my seeds in a plastic bag, with desiccant packs, in the fridge; but the seed packets had been opened.) I just planted them in a pot inside, covered in a plastic bag... we'll see what happens.
I didn’t plant any of the ones that germinated because I did the test very early this year. Now that it is closer to time, I’ll plant some of the tomatoes.

This is by no means me saying this is a good practice, but I've seen 3 or 4 year old seed packets in his seed box and I've never seen a bare patch on his garden

I just germinated at least 10 year old romanesco seeds. Great success.

@@TylerLloydThough I never had luck with old parsley seeds like you. I think to oldest seed I ever had to germinate were 15 year old dill seeds.
Do you have any old seeds in your collection?

@@pattyjordan7620 wishing you amazing success! 🌱
I'm curious if you ever ended up planting any. I'm impressed how well they germinated!
