Tomato Sproutlings
I have been able to germinate some 27 year old seeds. The radicle is about the length of a seed. I plan on planting the sproutlings to a soil less starting mixture. When should I do that?

Will do, Thanks
Out of about 50 seeds, this is the first one to germinate (5 days in moist paper towel) after bleach/water soak. I just noticed there is another one starting to sprout (9 days). So far, I guess not too bad for seeds over 25 years old. Only need one plant to save seeds but hoping for a few more to ensure preserving the strain. |

I wouldn't give up on more for a month or two. I just had seed sprout after being planted for a month.
