Q: I was digging around in the back of my refrigerator and found a sealed package with leftover vegetable seeds from last year. There are some that are in the original packaging and some seeds in baggies that I harvested from a few tomatoes and peppers. How do I know if the seeds are still good? I don’t want to plant them and not have them grow when I could buy more seeds this year.

Also, are the seeds at the stores reliable? I don’t seem to have good luck with them.
