Re: Old seeds

Thanks Lila, I'm going to list all these old seeds and write to Seed Saver's
for advice. In the meantime I have started a few of these old seeds in small
pots, just to see if anything will happen.  Now for another dumb
question.....Is there anywhere I can get the information on the expected
length of germination of a variety of seeds.  I would imagine each variety
would be different too, but if I could just get an idea this at least might
help me to determine if there is any hope.  Or should I just wait a week or
two and dig some up?  Any advice on this?  There were some old tomato seeds
that really interested me, they are called Sub-Arctic.  Has anyone heard of
these?  These have no dates on and come from Dominion Seed in Georgetown,
Ontario.  They say they are particularly good to germinate in cool
temperatures, being in the northwest this is important.  It doesn't mention
how long to germinate but I at least can write to Dominion Seed. I think
they must have come from dear old aunty Ethel from the farm in Saskatchewan.
