This is all pretty new to me so if I could get a little help it would be
appreciated.
I received about 20 seeds out of a 500# A.G. from a guy at work.I would like
to know the proper drying and storage for these seeds so that they will grow
in the spring.
Thank in advance for any help I receive. >>
A sometimes controversial subject. I dry them for 3-4 weeks on a planting
try. If I'm storing them for more than one year I freeze them. I have
planted seeds frozen for up to 8 years with 90-100% germination. The seeds
go directly from the freezer to the ground.
