Viability testing old seeds - Veggie - 18-06-2020

I had  some old pattypan seeds with sow by dates between 2012 and 2017.  An easy and cheap way to test viability is to put them on damp kitchen roll in a tray, inside a plastic bag and wait and see.
Here are some I set out on 14/6 - 4 days ago.

Remember, every seed deserves a chance. Wink
