Okay, y'all, I've looked all over the farm to find info on this, but didn't come across anything re: germinating seeds that have been being stored in the fridge. Looked on the Internet, too, and came across some pretty wacky methods that didn't seem right to me (planting them in the medium and then putting them in the fridge was one that struck me as particularly, uh, dumb haha).
I like to plant straight into the dirt, no shot glasses, no paper towels, none of that stuff. It seems to me that taking a seed that's been in the fridge for a while and then planting it straight into the dirt might be.... I dunno.... Counter-productive? Should I just let the seeds I plan to sprout sit out like on the kitchen counter or something for a few hours and then plant them? It seems like I ought to let them "warm up" a bit before I put them in the dirt, but like I said, I really don't know. I've always had 100% success rate just planting them in the dirt, but I've also never used seeds that have been stored in the fridge before (obviously).
So yeah, if anybody knows, feel free to chime in.
