What is the best way to determine if seeds are still good? I have some corn and bean seeds that I purchased exactly 3 years ago. They have been stored in a cool, dry place. I'm assuming the paper towel method is the best/easiest?
I put 4 or 5 of each kind in paper towels, wet them and set them out in the sun. But I don't entirely know what I'm doing. I've read that I should use the brown paper towels (which I don't have at the moment) and that I should seal them in a bag.
I have way more of these seeds than I need, so I can do some more experimenting if needed.
Thanks.
