are they brittle...are they damaged or cracked...

how old is old..you're making it sound like they are ancient...

only one way to find out if they'll germinate...

moist papertowel...not SOAKED...between two paper plates... place it in a plastic bag and leave it in a dark warm area.... like wrap in in a sweater and leave it near a radiator, not on the radiator...or close to the boiler room...

well i have only done the warm water in a shot glass kept in a dark warm place if the new ones im tryin dont work im gonna do the paper towel what do you find to be the best? there probaly like a year maybe two old it takes a little force to break them not a ton though and as crack or defaults no they look solid.

i can't say whats the best technique for germinating...everyone has their ways...but for me, i only have used the paper towel method.. and i always get them to crack unless the seed was immature or damaged... if they were stored properly, don't think the 2 years would hurt them, but you never know... only one way to find out..

Paper towel or in the soil. Are you gentle? Then try the towel, and keep it warm & moist but -not hot or soaked. If not... put them directly in the soil, the strong ones will certainly find the light if you let them.

ha...thats a funny question... i've noticed some people say they always messed up the taproots, and i never understood that one...ha...pick it up by the shell and not the taproot and it should be a good transplant...ha...clumsy mother--------

The seeds in my currewnt grow were 2 years almost, all 10 germed, lost 2 due to my fuck up. They have germed seed that have been stored properly for 50 years... Granted, likelyhood of problems goes way up after a few years... Shelf live is measure, if 50% or less of the seeds germ, then they are bad seeds...
