I've started with the A flowers and pulled out all the seeds that should have been sown before 2020. Then I sorted them into groups - annuals for cut flowers, flowers for drying, perennials, shade lovers, tall, ground cover or, when there are a lot of the same flower - like Antirrhinum and Achillea I've kept them together. I'll mix the seeds in each group together.
I've made a list of the seeds that are in each group so that I'll have a better chance of identifying anything that grows.
Since I'll never get round to sowing them in trays/pricking out and so on, I'm going to scatter them in an appropriate spot and hope for the best. They'll have more chance of growing this way than being stuck in a box in a cupboard. Just one plant from each batch would be a bonus.
What a brilliant idea!
Trouble is I haven’t got anywhere near enough space to be able to experiment with the loads of old seeds lying around in shoe boxes. Oh for a patch as big as yours!
