    I think they will belong to the "I haven't the foggiest group of plants"! I have plenty of pots of these and every Spring have to wait to see what emerges. I'd sow them, you have nothing to loose. If you bothered to collect them you must have liked the "parent". All part and parcel of the joys of gardening, I for 1 am hopeless at labelling stuff thinking I'll of course remember and then promptly forget.Maybe some genius on here which obviously isn't me just might be able to help but I wouldn't hold your breath on that 1:)

        Possibly Onions, Leeks or Chives. I'll have a closer look when I get home.

        EDIT: Only had my driving specs with me and I can't see a thing with them, looking closer to see what they might be ...

            This is a difficult one, but if they are flat then they could be tomatoes. :)

            Brassica seeds are rough and virtually spherical, those in the image are heart shaped, smooth and slightly flat.

            Those beets are are too 'corky' and irregular to be a match.
