"Beans have been sprouted after over 100 years in ideal storage conditions."Saving seeds for future planting can be done, but gardeners should ensure their storage plans will keep the seeds in optimum conditions."The seeds should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight," said Stacie Krljanovic, head groundskeeper and adviser at Patio Productions, an outdoor furniture and garden marketplace in San Diego, Calif.
Carrots, cucumbers, peas and tomatoes can usually be stored for up five years, according to Krljanovic. Gardeners should start off their new plants indoors, so that those plants have the best chance of success.
