Are your seeds still good?
There is an easy way to check whether your seeds will still germinate or not, and you don’t have to waste time to sow them in the ground or in containers. All you do is take a paper towel and a little container and then take about five seeds out of your seed packet and then just close it and this humid environment will encourage the seeds to germinate if they’re still viable. It’s an easy test. You don’t have to waste any time.
So after about seven to 10 days, if you see your seeds have germinated well, they’re viable. So go ahead and plant them in your garden. There is an easy way to make holes in plastic pots.
