How old are they? from what I read you got them 9 months ago. How long did your farther in law have them?

I have germinated seeds that were 5 or more years old before. They were kept in a drawer in a film vile and they germinated ok. Seeds if stored properly can last a very long time.

Oh well what's done is done and we will go from here, I would plan on alot more than 4 though.
