Welp...I done went and did it!

I dug deep into my seed vault and found the 20 year old golden bantam (heirloom sweet corn). I pulled 20 seeds off of 3 ears and I planted them in 2 cups (10 seeds per cup).

Now I'll get an idea of a "sprout rate"...I expect it to be zero.

But if even half of them sprout...I'll be planting sweet corn this year banana2

I have no intention of transplanting these...it's only a test to see if the seed is viable or not (I suspect not...but I've been surprised before).

I have been surprised by 'very old' seeds before, and they were even the cheap ones.

I have also been disappointed by fresh, expensive seeds.

Last year I tried 17 year old tomato seeds...now my 5 heirloom seed varieties are from 2020 instead of 2003 banana2
