I have a small hoarder-collector problem with buying cute heirloom seeds every year and never using them all properly. Over time, this has led to a large collection of expired seeds. So this year, I am not buying any new ones, and instead will plant what I have, to see what comes up.
So far I planted tomatoes (3 types including one expired in 2019), squash (exp 2021), basil (exp 2020) and green beans (exp 2019). Wish me (them) luck!

It's been ready since 2005 or so. Want to plant it? πŸ™‚

This takes on so many more nuances after reading the Wiki article for henbane...

In the 1990s they dug a cable trench through the former medicinal herb garden of Mariefred Monastery. They turned the earth, put the cable down and backfilled the trench.

The following year, a neat line of henbane grew on top of the cable. The seeds had been waiting for 450 years to get back to the surface.
