Join Louisiana Simple Living as I show you how to test the germination rate of your seeds. This is critically important as the germination rate of you seeds decrease over time. You don't want to be ready to sow seeds, then realize you are not getting a good germination rate with the seeds you sowed. You can investigate that now and ensure you seeds germinate at the rate you expect them to do.
