My dad's wife gave me a bag of unopened seed packets she found at a yard sale. These are pretty old & I have no idea of how they were stored, so I can't vouch for viability, but they're free to whomever wants a challenge. I included dates when legible.

I'd really like the Watermelon 'Dixie Queen' packet, please! I've never seen, let alone grown, a white watermelon.

I have a bizarre compulsion to ask for those 90s seeds, just for kicks. But I need to quit with the millions of morning glories.

Maybe hit me with those legitimately vintage scarlet runner beans (they are older than my marriage!!), and the mystery sunflower seeds. I'm curious and full of unwarranted confidence about my ability to coax a plant out of a seed who was in its prime before the dot com bubble burst.

I'll try the 2019 moonflower. I know that morning glory seeds remain viable for a long time. Thanks!

Lol I'm the same way. It's really tempting to try just for the challenge.

Julie, I'll take the following one, if you haven't sent your seeds in yet!:
Morning glory, Grandpa Ott (Ferry Morse, 2014)

And if you've already sent them in, no worries, it's not worth the extra postage to mail them and I have other morning glories to meet my daughter's request, LoL!
