I found some seed packets dated 1997(yes a long time ago). Are they still good? and What is the shelf life of seeds?
yeah...you NEVER know! typical shelf life is one-two years, but i have sprouted some very old seeds before & also had some not last from one season to the next....never hurts to try! btw what kind of seeds are they?
Turnips, wild flowers, poppys, and radishes. Thanks for the advice! My 4 leaf clovers have sprouted faster than I thought they would, I cant wait to see them open up.(they wasnt old or anything I had just bought the bulbs)
Some seeds can last a long time, depending on how they are stored. Some researchers germinated some seeds found in an archeological site that were something like 2000 years old.
wow thats cool man. I would like to get a clone of that tree that is growing in that Buddhist temple, I forget the name of it. But its like 2000 years old or something.
