Seed storage ?
First- I walked into Lowe's yesterday and saw their seeds and seed starter flats out. OMG, I wanted to spend a lot of money right then and there! Then I remembered we live in Montana, where I won't be able to transplant anything outdoors until mid-May.
Second- I had a bunch of seeds left over from container gardening last year; I was planning to use seeds from the same packets to start plants this year. After seeing the Lowe's display, I went home to evaluate the stock of which seeds I already have.
I got home and realized that in our haste to move last fall (we built a house in 10 weeks, moving twice in the process), the leftover seed packets got stuck on a shelf in the garage. Our unheated garage. We've had -30 temperatures this winter...
Can I re-use these seed packets? Or does cold that cold kill any potential of the seed?
From here on out I promise to store seeds in a dark, 50 degree place!
Re: Seed storage ?
I'd give it a shot if I was you. -30 is really cold but you never know.
(I store my seeds in an air-tight container in the back of our fridge with much success)
