I thought my 2017 seeds were old..............but 2010!!
Theres' no harm in trying Scarlet. As gardeners we live on (in) hope. I have a box of old seeds, some are from the early 2000's. Admittedly they are to be thrown away, but I've just not done it. May have a random seed scatter, but the problem is "where"!
I empty the really old packets into a jar, shake them up, and scatter them on any available ground. It doesn't matter if they do nothing, I've given them their freedom and its for them to decide what to do. There have been some surprises.- whichI like!
Just some more Coriander today.
Sweetcorn Golden Bantam; CFB Polish and Tiger; runner beans Mrs Connell's Black and Tenderstar; DFB Vermont Cranberry and Tendergreen; peas Oregon Sugar Pod snap peas, Calibra, and Bijou mangetout; cosmos; zinnias; nasturtium
