I think I can echo Rivka’s sentiments/dilemmas. I often feel forced to buy “new”
seed every season because after some experience storing seed and having poor
germination the second year it’s not worth the risk of losing a small
window of opportunity to start either a whole crop or one succession. If I end up with poor germination or
weak seedlings at a critical time because I’ve stored them improperly or
for some other reason, I’m hosed.
I’ve run into this with brassicas, squash,
peppers, and tomatoes. Every year I
swear I’ll get my seed order lower and use last year’s purchased
seed, but in the end I get nervous and I shell out maybe several hundred
dollars extra for new seed and give last years away to my gardener friends. Mike Emers Ester, Alaska |
