Bargain priced seeds are older varieties which may not be in demand, or possibly the seeds are on sale to get you into the nursery or garden store.
You can tell if the seeds will be good according to the date on the back of the seed packet.
When seeds are packaged Germination tests are done on each variety of seed when it is packed, in order to determine if the seeds are still good, check the date on the seed packet.
Storage of Leftover Seeds Most vegetable seeds can be kept for at least a year or more.
Store extra seeds in a cool, dry location.
Keep in mind that the germination rate of sweet corn, onion, and parsnip seeds kept more than a year might be significantly reduced.
Other vegetable seeds can be kept for several years when stored properly.
Left over or extra vegetable seeds should be kept in a closed container and placed in a cool, dry location.
You can tell if the seeds are still good by placing a few seeds between two paper towels, rolling them up and keeping them moist.
Check every few days for germination.
If nothing grows in a couple of weeks, the seeds most likely won't grow.
Vegetables and Plants If you have bought bedding plants or started your seeds indoors, you may transfer those sprouts or plants to outside locations.
For already potted plants, dig a hole slightly wider and deeper than the root ball of the new plant.
Water the plant thoroughly prior to planting it out in the garden to lessen the shock of transplant.
Gently tap the pot to loosen the roots and remove the new plant.
If the root ball is tangled and compacted, gently loosen the outer roots with your fingers.
Set the plant into the hole slightly deeper than it was growing in the pot, and firm the soil in around it, making certain that there is good soil/root contact.
Construct a burm around your new plant and give it a good soak.
Be careful not to over water newly potted plants, and watch for signs of shock.
