Okay, I need advice related to the seeds I'm offering. This may not be the correct place for this, but I figured it was more seed discussion than general chat.

I recently moved from N. Alabama to Eastern Kentucky. In that move, some boxes were mixed up and my whole seed stash ended up locked in a hot car for a day. The temperature outside was most likely 80-90 degrees. I don't feel comfortable offering those seeds without getting advice.

Is it okay to offer those seeds if I make a note? I would like to do a germination test on some varieties, but with some I may not have enough to offer after the germination test (before growing for seed next year). I have some new seeds coming, and some that were in a different box that did not get left in a hot car. If you were me, would you only offer those that had not been exposed to the heat?

I'm pretty upset, as I had some very cool varieties I was looking forward to growing and sharing. Especially now that we are in an actual house with space to grow, and I am no longer confined to a tiny balcony in an apartment. Moving, and the feeling of defeat from a simple mix-up is why I have not been very active, or updating my offering list.

Any advice would be appreciated.
