Off to the stocks with you - I feel an out of date tomato session coming on

**Florence Fennel** · 03-10-2011, 12:04 PM

Nooooooooooooo Wayne! You should test their viability before you throw them away. I have several antiques in my box, but that's where they are staying. I don't hoard anything else, so I don't feel guilty.

I was having a "proper" clearout - taking no prisoners.

Anyone want a desk chair?

Upside is, my mum has a nice bag full for the charity shop.

I am also guilty as charged, I too have a huge collection of seeds with many well out of date.

Can anyone recommend the best way to test viability? Should I bother, or simply have a clear out and then have fun with the seed catalogues?

**HeyWayne** · 03-10-2011, 12:16 PM

I'm going with a cleansing option b.

Best way to test viability is to put on damp kitchen paper, and try germinating I think.

I'm not coming into this thread

[Wayne, have I taught you nothing?]

Whenever I have a clear out, I throw things out.. last time I hired a skip!

**Incy** · 03-10-2011, 03:11 PM

Whenever I throw thinks out I always miss them later

That must have been a lot of seeds

**reetnproper** · 03-10-2011, 07:13 PM

I'm ace at clearing things out!

OH's old bits 'n' bobs that he hasn't used for years - into the bin (denying all knowledge when, several months later, aforementioned bits 'n' bobs are missed);

The Reetlets old, broken 'grown out of' toys are merrily thrown out or passed onto pre-school or the charity shops - denying all memory of said items when one or other Reetlet suddenly recalls, several months later, that she has the exact same toy/jigsaw/game that she has seen in Sue Ryder or played at school "Haven't I mummy?".

Of course NONE of my things are ready for the skip/bin/charity shop yet because I use them all, ALL of the time

I got (very kindly) given a very old packet of mignonette seeds for our centenary garden . They were pre little foil packets the the kind grape who passed them on said "I've found these at the bottom of a bag and don't think they'll germinate but have a go anyway "
Guess what.. we have a fantastic clump of sweetly smelling mignonette which everyone comments on ....proves a point really doesn't it ?

**chris** · 03-10-2011, 09:10 PM
