I overlooked a packet of seed in the crisper of a cross I had done last year. The seed was in a zip lock bag. I found them again three weeks ago after 11 months. (Cringe - don't think about my fridge please). The seed was just six crinkle things that I couldn't rehydrate even after soaking them in water for a week. They just floated there. I was going to throw them out but a fit of sentimentality made me plant them amongst 300 radishes I had just sowed. Well, four out of the six daylily seeds germinated while only 15 out of the 300 radishes did. I don't know which is the greater shock.

Normally I plant seed in individual punnets of seed raising material after several weeks in the crisper.
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
