Seeds in Refrigerato?

BUda, TX(Zone 8b)

Okay, for what it's worth... Put the excess seeds we had from last year in their paper packets in a Seal-A-Meal vaccum bag and then put that out in the deep freeze. Temperature was down to about 0*, and in the vacuum, I don't think they had much moisture that was able to get to them.

Had some Beefsteak and Brandywine that we planted in our garden beds 2 weeks ago. So far, so good with the plants are about 3" tall now and look pretty good. Also tried some in the Jiffy Tomato Greenhouse, had better than 80% germination, but I killed them after they sprouted. Used fertilizer and I think they got too cold when we had some low 40*'s a couple weeks ago.

The cukes and the okra are also looking good, as well as the squash and zucchini. With all the rain we've had this winter and spring, I am looking forward to gardening this year.
