    For any of you interested, here is the result of my first germination test on the frozen seeds. I have many more seeds that were frozen to test. The only real failure was peas. All varieties of peas failed, so don't freeze pea seeds. I also didn't use supplemental heat for this test, which could have affected squash, and peppers especially. I have petri dishes arriving later this week, so I will be able to cater the germination tests to the type of seeds being used.
