Hi.

Upon a commentary from Nichole, I've decide to put all my old seeds in the ground.
It may happen that this Automn it does not rain again, and all those little seeds will pass to oblivion, but they will have more chances in the soil than inside the bag!

Here I am mixing them all in a bucket with compost. They have been sprout all over the garden beds. Good luck, little ones!

Better than throwing them away! Every few years I clean out the unused old seeds and scatter them across the garden.
