Corn seed question...
How long is it good for?
Bought some last year from Vermont Bean Seed but never used it. Package says 'packed for 2009, and sell by Dec 2009. Do I need to sow heavy? Buy new? Two sweet corns: Seneca Dancer Bi-color (se) Imaculata White (se) One experimental Hybrid Yellow Any ideas? thanks, Greg |

I've Always heard 2-3 years on corn seeds.
If you have enough seeds, do a germination test of 5-10 seeds in advance and see what type of germ. % you get. JJ61 |
