   I had to do something like that with snap pea seeds that   
   ranged from three to five years old. I keep checking on   
   them, but only a few have poked through the dirt so far.   
   Keeping fingers crossed.   
      
   Except for a few seeds that a neighbor picked up for me   
   over the past couple of months, I'm mostly having to   
   rely on older leftover seeds.   
      
   My other neighbor who usually orders for both of us from   
   Pinetree Seeds, was dealing with her husband's illness   
   (he passed away last month) and never got around to making   
   the order. My other in-person source(s) have both gone out   
   of business.   
      
   With the lockdown, I haven't ventured out far enough to   
   check the big box stores nor my other source for plants   
   and seeds that's 45 miles away.   
      
   I'm dealing with things as best I can and have two vegetable   
   beds planted with snap peas (which may or may not work), two   
   types of lettuce, and broccoli.   
      
   Nyssa, who also has started some tomato and pepper seeds   
   from last year and has hopes that they'll do the job
