Seed Packs
I plant seeds last year, is still good?
I know that may have a lower germination percentage, but if it germinates, I I have to worry about them? Or even plant quality sub? I can buy lots of seed packets each year and are rarely planted. The eternal hope I guess. Maybe this year?
If you mean vegetable seeds, the ones who lose viability after one year are onions, spinach, celery, corn sweet lettuce. And yet many still sprout. All the rest have a high viability for at least two years, some up to five years. If seeds are have remained cool and dry, you should have no problem with the germination of seeds of age and shall not affect the resulting plant.
