Trying to germ test my own seeds


I trying to check some of my own seeds I saved from last year to see if they even germ before I waste my time trying to plant them all. Here’s what I’m trying if you see any red flags let me know please. I took some seeds placed them on a pretty damp paper towel that I used rain water for then put them in a little snack size ziplock bag squeezed almost all air out of it and sealed top completely. I did about 10-20 seeds a bag. I did sunflowers, cosmos, fennel, blanket flowers, false blue indigo. I figured I will wait about 2 weeks leave inside and see if any have germinated I’m not trying to transplant or grow these just looking to see if there even viable. Location Zone 5b-6a USA. Main concerns I have should I have left the ziplock bag open a little at top and anything else I’m not aware of. Or will this work. Thank you

Some gardening sites say leaving cuttings can spread disease, do you guys notice any issues doing chop and drop?


I should’ve done this last fall, but I just cut down all my dead wildflowers just as the first little bits of green are starting to come up.. should I remove it at this point or is it still fine to leave to decompose into the soil?
