Long story short, I had to quit growing about 7 yrs ago and did not properly store my seeds. Most of them were in small ziplocks and put in plastic organizers, then thrown public storage(30-90*f averages). At that time, some were just made, some a couple years old and a few from as old as 1978 Highland Oaxacan.
About 2 months ago, I pulled them out of storage and have been trying to germinate them with no luck so far. I've read the High Times suggestions for germinating old seeds but wondered if any of you have successfully germinated really old beans. I would hate to start over, I have some really nice genetics here that would be great to grow out again.
