BBC reports 200 year old seed germinate
Comments (2)Albert, Thank you....That was really interesting. Did I understand correctly that they only had one acacia seed intact with which to try? The article alongside about old lotus seed was worth reading too, and I bookmarked the site for Kew Gardens... Here is a link that might be useful: 500 yr old lotus...See More10 year old seed germinates!
Comments (9)If I was only allowed to grow one herb for cooking, I'd be torn between basil and summer savory. You always hear savory called "the bean herb" (snap & dried) and it does go nicely with them. For a super-quick salad/side veggie, drain & rinse a can of white beans or chickpeas. Toss with minced or dried summer savory, olive oil, 2-3 tablespoons of minced onion and a couple cloves of minced garlic. Crazy-easy and so, so good. I toss on quite a bit when I make hummus, too, instead of parsley. Savory's also fantastic in split pea soup and great with tuna. I use it alot with pasta, cream soups, and in pretty much anything with cheese or eggs. One of my favorite breakfasts is creamed eggs on toast: Slice or chop hard-cooked eggs. Make a medium white sauce and season with minced summer savory, a bit of dry mustard, salt & pepper. Add eggs and serve over toast. To me, it has a fresh, sweet, green taste with a faint peppery bite. Actually, I don't think there's anything I wouldn't put it in. Once you develop a taste for it, you've gotta have it! Last year I grew some Red Wonder bell peppers from a commercial pack I bought in 1999, and several cukes (tiny picklers) from 2000....See MoreAll my eight year old tomato seeds are starting to sprout
Comments (1)Good deal for you. ;) Always nice to know that saving them is worth the effort. But seeds much older than 8 years have been proven to be viable. I'm still using some seeds from 10 years back and there is at least one previous post I can think of using 12 year old seeds and another about 25 year old seeds so save those seeds.

Comments (4)I have not planted anything bug my begonia seed and pepper seed - BUT I like opening a fresh bag of germinating mix...the smell reminds me of life SPRINGing!!! I love the experience of starting with a tiny seed and from that seed feeding my family, neighbors, co-workers... and then canning and eating all winter long fresh sauce. I like starting with a tiny seed and from that tiny seed being able to share 100's of tiny seeds with people who could have the same experience I am....See Morerobertzone6
