happy-flowerLast week I was doing some cleaning in our outbuilding and came across some hollyhock seeds that are about 10 years old, they were sored in a plastic bag that was closed tight and stored in another container closed with a plastic lid. I am wondering if they would still be good to plant?

                                        Thank you

Fold about 10 of them in a damp paper towel, put it in a plastic bag, keep it damp, check in a few days. If they have started to sprout they are OK to plant. Good luck!

Remember, if it rains on your picnic it's also raining on your garden!

cloverYep yep. This method will work if the seeds are still viable. I did it with some 5 yr old beans and they sprouted!! Amazing!
