Tomato seeds can last a very long time.</p> Lisa – I’ve even seen volunteer tomatoes grown from sludge that has come out of municipal sewage treatment plants – and that stuff was heated way up to kill all the bacteria.

You will need to make sure there is plenty of compost in the hole and throw a gallon of water into every hole you make for things like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and so on. You can also start seed for fall things like winter lettuces, chard, kale, etc. but you really need to make sure that it’s watered well and regularly and if the sun is very direct, you need to cover it with … old sheer curtains, row cover etc.</p> If anyone is thinking about starting a garden, you can still put in things like lettuce, green beans, summer squash and zucchini, that sort of thing.
