Most vegetable seeds have rather long lives, but there are a tew important exceptions. For example, corn,leek onion and parsnip seeds have short life spans. Those with medium longevity include bean, beet, carrot, Swiss Chard, mustard, pepper, pumpkin and tomato. The seeds of other commonly grown vegetables will usually grow quite well even when five or more years old.
You may test the germination of your seeds by placing a definite number on moist blotter paper in a pan covered with plastic or glass to maintain a high humidity. Place your seed container in a warm place and count the number germinating in Iff to 14 days.
Plant your old seeds more thickly than you do fresh ones. If the seeds are at or beyond the above suggested ages, plant them about twice as thick as usual.
