THE GREAT OLD TOMATO SEED EXPERIMENT

AverageWalrus · Sat Mar 14, 2015 12:54 am

Basically, Today I found some old Tomato seeds in my cabinet (2011 growing season) and decided "Ive heard that tomato seeds can last long" (ive heard some people getting results with 15 year old seeds, and these are only about 4-5 years) so here we go. I'll update when (and if) I get results. See you then

They will wake up better if soaked for 24 hrs in water first before sowing. Some say chamomile tea, weak black tea, or 1/4 strength soluble fertilizer. Rinse off the solution before sowing.

Oh, I didnt know that, If the batch I have in a pot right now doesnt germinate, I'll pre-soak the seeds I use for the next batch
