I would like to add my note to say that I haven't frozen seeds for years but
did freeze my seeds for two weeks last year just before planting in the
spring, because I hadn't gotten time to plant in the winter and I had about an
80% germination rate. Perhaps it makes a difference what part of the country
you are in.?
