I have just found a biscuit tin of packets of Burpee Seeds from the US — swiss chard seed tape, carnations, heliotrope, geraniums, lettuces, basil etc. — about 30-35 packets dated from 1997! Is it worth my time to try to germinate them or shall I just dump them? It breaks my heart to do so but if it’s a useless exercise, I won’t bother. The tin was in the back of an upper shelf in a kitchen cupboard, completely forgotten about!
