[QUOTE="woodchuckc, post: 2339205, member: 2555"] I'm still using a vial of Cherokee Purple tomato seeds I saved from back in 2001, and still getting about 50-60% germination. Tomato seeds retain viability a long time if fermented and dried properly and stored in a cool place or in the freezer. I store my seeds in small (10 or 20 mL) plastic vials. I planted some cowpeas of my Dad's that I found in a Miracle Whip jar out in the garage as I was going through things after he passed away a few years ago. I planted them the next summer and I bet every single one came up. The last time he raised any cowpeas was the last summer I lived at home while at college (I was 21). I am 52 now, so those seeds has been in the jar out in his garage for 28 years! [/QUOTE]
