Posted by Tim on Friday, June 12, 2009 12:20 PM ADTI have numerous packs of seeds that are 2-4 years old. I have had them in a zip-lock bag in the refrigerator since i got them. Are they any good?

A refrigerator is far too humid to store seeds. The trick to storing seeds is not really the temperature but rather the humidity. They must remain dry.
