If, like me, you store seeds for future planting, it’s worth checking they will germinate.

It’s a recycled shoe box that once housed wellies, with cardboard dividing it into compartments labelled by plant family.

Not everything is labelled, some packets are empty and many of the seeds have been hanging around for too many years to still be fertile.Seeds don’t last for ever, unfortunately. Their viability varies depending on how long they have been stored, the conditions they have been stored in and the type of seed – onion seeds, for example, are best sown within a year or two, whereas cucumber and kale seeds can be stored for about five years.  Generally speaking, a seed will ...
