    I doubt they are any good after this long depending how they were stored away ? But give them a go and see if something nice comes forth. Do you recall what they were ?

    well, I really dont see how it would hurt to try to germinate them. I for one would not discount mother nature like Theguy.

    Besides you might actually have some genetics there that no longer exist.

    germ them and see man, its the only way you will know for absolute.
