Do you think these seeds have a chance?

Love it. Yes they will sprout.

The viability of the seeds being that old is pretty low

I'm inclined to agree with Shannon, but Mother Nature can be very unpredictable. Personally, I'm hoping they sprout. Keep us posted.

i'm glad you tried a few rather than all - perhaps you'll have a chance to try several methods of sprouting, such as, next, actual seed-starting mix in a peat pot. good luck---eg

I sprouted a bunch of corn seeds from 1980 this year. Germination rates varied by variety. 91% to 40%. 0% on pumpkin seeds older than 1985. Paper towel method on all. Good luck.

Nothing yet - will try different methods... I'll let you know when they do sprout (rather, if they do)
