I have a packet of Chimayo seeds which I purchased in Santa Fe New Mexico in 1991. I got them at half price because they were stamped 1990. I germinate a couple of seeds every once in a while just to see how long they will remain viable. I just put 5 seeds in a baggie on the heating pad and will let you know. I store my seeds in sealed containers with silica gel. > How long will seeds remain viable if not planted and are there any > method of extending this period ?
