I find 100's of "volunteers" growing each spring in my garden and compost pile.

It stays below freezing here for weeks on end so it's safe to say that tomato seeds exposed to freezing for a few days wouldn't hurt them. :wink:

Storing them at high humidity in a warm environment is much more likely to affect germination over freezing. Perhaps they are old?

Carolyn and others here have a trick that sometimes wakes up old seeds. I'll let them post the info.
