Suitable for storage of recalcitrant seeds for a few months over winter. Seeds may be stored in heaps on the ground, in shallow pits in well-drained soils or in layers in well ventilated sheds, often covered or mixed with leaves, moist sand, peat or other porous materials (Holmes and Buszewicz 1958, Magini 1962).n some cases the seeds can be despatched in the same containers in which they were stored. In others it may be advisable to transfer them from a large container in storage to a smaller container for despatch. Individual nurseries may require only a small quantity of a given seed lot.
Seeds stored in paper envelopes dry out a lot, and take a long time to rehydrate. Most should germinate in 21-40 days. Seeds stored in plastic bags after drying 24-48 hours and then refrigerated germinate much quicker. Mine stored that way germinate within 3-21 days. Don't give up too quickly.his is my first attempt at sprouting seeds (my own crosses) and I'm experimenting with an Aero Garden with an insert (70 grow medium plugs). The water supply is from below (keeps the grow plugs moist) and there are grow lamps. The seeds were refrigerated for 4-5 months in paper envelopes. I didn't soak them.
