Hi,

I attempted to germinate some bag seeds that I saved from 2005. I have had them on a moist paper towel in a tobacco tin and left them close to the radiator to give them a decent temperature.
Five days have gone by and still NOTHING, not a thing. So I decided to do an 'autopsy' on one of the seeds to see if it had an embryo, and sure enough it did, it also had what appered to be the tap root but they don't appear to want to germinate.

Anyway I have ordered some fresh seeds so I'll try again, but can anyone offer an explaination? I mean they are seeds in ideal environment, going by what I have read they should have popped some days ago..
