Lesson learned.
- Never trust bean seeds that are not recently purchased
- Plant seedlings a month before you think you need them
- Always till in the fall to break up the soil and bring pests to the surface.
- Start winter garden seeds in January

I hear you. I delayed picking up prescriptions because I had to walk to the store and didnāt want to deal with the heat or humidity.

Get a Raven ZZ plant. I have never changed the pot it was in when I bought it and only have to water it once every 3 weeks.

If stored cool, dry, dark many seeds last 2 yrs, some more.
I always used Territorial or Burpee seeds and had fairly good luck with them being good quality. Most anything from last year I assume will be about 60% survival and itās usually better.
Corn seed- Iāve had them grow after 3+ yrs
Beans- usually 2 yrs.
Carrots- 1 yr
Squash- 2 yr but that really variesā¦
Tomatoes- 1 yr
It seems the smaller the seed, the less chance for survival (except weeds that are all fully viable for 42 decades)

Is it this one? Try turning it off. Or try turning it off and then back on again. Or try desktop mode. Then try turning that off.

Damn weeds
Yeah, I push it with seeds.
I love to collect seeds. The arugula produces a ton of seeds once it gets warm.
I think I need to sprout most of my seeds before planting, especially if they are not freshly acquired.

Indeed. Although mine is in the original 6" diameter pot, so the tallest it has got was about 10". They cycle occasionally, which at first I thought I was killing stalks, but then realized that news ones come in to replace them. Iāve had mine for over a year now.
- Wow I just noticed how dusty it is up there by looking at that picture.

My dad worked at the local ag store when I was a kid.
Heād have me and one of my friends do test runs with the bulk seeds every year.
Wet a paper towel, place 10 seeds in it, fold it, then put it in a ziplock bag. Wait a couple weeks, making sure they stay wet and warm. Once they germinate if itās less than 80% toss that batch and get fresh.
80% might be too high for you, but you get the idea.

That worked good too, but it has to be a non-hybrid plant of course.
To squeeze in a crop in the cool-cloud belt, I was stuck mostly with hybrids.
