Freeze the old seeds for three days. Spread a few on a slightly damp slice of bread and put them on a warm windowsill. If they sprout within a week, you are ready to plant the frozen and germinated seeds. ☺️
Just plant them, give them a try. Keep them damp til they germinate or not. Seeds last forever if they have been kept dry .......
I saw somewhere that if they FLOAT when you put them in water first they are no good.
ok, I’ll try this. Thanks!
