Geez... Rough crowd.

Luke and Cindy live just north of me and are a couple of kids who are into gardening and want to share their passion with others their age. I see nothing wrong with that. And they are good kids. Secondly, us old farts aren't gonna enjoy these young peoples' videos anymore than we would enjoy their music.

With that said, they are young gardeners - not antique experts. They bought what they bought from an antique dealer. Who knows who put the seed packets in the case but it doesnt matter. They bought what appeared to them old packets of seeds. He looked in his MSU Master Gardener's book on how to germinate old seeds and asked also asked for help to germinate them from MSU Extension office here in town.

Who knows if they are 87 years old. Or not. But given gardening is scoffed at by most young kids their age today, I for one appreciate their passion and trying to make gardening, seed preservation, recycling, and conservation cool with other kids via youtube.
