And much like a chick in an egg, all the nutrients this little life needs to spring into existence is contained within it's shell. <br />Like boiling an egg, heating a seed will kill that little life within it. However, unlike an egg, a seed can withstand cold temperatures!Survival Seedshttp://survivalseeds.vegetable-gardening-guide.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-91993913505376061962009-12-29T11:27:41.997-06:002009-12-29T11:27:41.997-06:00Great ideas and tips here!Great ideas and tips here!Walkerhttp://www.walkersworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-24234566943471376702009-08-29T11:32:53.312-05:002009-08-29T11:32:53.312-05:00I have the same question as Nancy.

The seed packs are vacuum packed and can be kept for 20 years at 70 degrees or 5 times that long if you freeze them. That is the claim anyway. Have you had any experience with this product. I'd appreciate any input.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896936946516418965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-66150357751592091422009-03-21T03:57:00.000-05:002009-03-21T03:57:00.000-05:00To: Arch36Thanks a bunch!

Some seed's can be planted right away after drying a bit,some,such as tomato's and pepper's,have a tough shell that need's to break before they can germinate.This can be done in 2 easy way's.. one is to just freeze them for a while,make's them think they went thru a winter and ready to sprout. If you need them quick,you can gently rub the dry seed's on an emery board to scratch the shell off. There is a third way..seed's are not digested,so if you eat them,then pass them,then find them.....I know it sound's gross,but yrs ago we had a septic tank that needed cleaned every yr or so,and what got spilled grew great tomato's! And another garden tip,NEVER plant tomato's near pepper's,some tobacco root rot thing going on there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-58408220280647622382008-12-19T10:27:00.000-06:002008-12-19T10:27:00.000-06:00Talked with Big John,...he said put'em in brown pa...Talked with Big John,...he said put'em in brown paper bags,....put them in a coffee can with some sand or dry stuble to absorb moisture and put window screen material over the top so they can breath.

Will do some research and post an update.

Maybe just putting them in a paper bag would do the trick. Keep them out of the zip-lock bags or shrink wrap. I might have to amend my post.

I then latter learned from Big John Lipscom over at survival seeds.com that that was wrong to do. The seeds needed air for any type storage. It makes me think that even the refridge would not be good.<BR/><BR/>What have you heard bro?gott_chahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144900084025208694noreply@blogger.com
