Better than I was expecting for these older seeds. Most all the different crosses I received from Cindy ( hemlady) that she had dated as 8/2013 and 9/2013 germinated. I don't know how she stored them, but they went right into my refrigerator crisper drawer until I germinated them in the H2O2 water added to each little plastic ziplock Baggie. Most of the baggies had 5-10 seeds of each cross in each bag.

The really odd thing is that a lot of the newest seeds I did the same treatment to at the same time still have not germinated yet.

If most germinate, I will have 200+ seedlings. Which is a lot more than I was expecting. And I still have most of my own crosses from last year still in the refrigerator. I think this is the year I need to start culling plants. I wished I owned the residential lot either to the west or north of my property. I'd be growing long rows of seedlings on such a lot. In my dreams..... Sighing!
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
