There is nothing worse than sowing a row of vegetable or flower seeds that won't germinate. So, before planting them, test to see if your seeds suffered from bad storage conditions or just from old age:1) Take several sheets of paper towels and moisten with water from a spray bottle. 2) Sprinkle a few seeds (from the seed pack in question) over the paper towels, then cover with another layer of moist paper towels. 3) Place this paper towel-seed-sandwich into a plastic bag and punch some holes in the bag. Place the bag in a warm, dark spot. 4) Check periodically to make sure the paper towels do not dry out. In a week or so, the majority of seeds you tested should germinate. If they do then this batch of seeds is worth planting. |
