    Most people will plant 2-4 seeds and once they sprout will thin them out to 1 plant.

    This is fine until seeds sprout. The sprouted seeds will need light to live.

    The ingredients in potting mix retain water great if they stay damp, but yes, when they dry out completely they do repel water. You simply need to soak the container in water for an hour or so to force the mix to take water in again.

    Also using warm water will help it soak in better.

    Yes, but it is not a hard set date. Seeds remain viable for a time then die. Most seeds remain viable for at least a year, and some, if they have been stored properly, can remain viable for 3, 4 even 5 years.

    Proper storage would be a cool, but not cold, dry place. If the seeds have been exposed to high heat or very low temperatures or to humid conditions, they may have died due to these conditions.

    It may depend on the type of soil that you have in your garden.

    Heavy clay soils will likely hold to much moisture and the seeds may rot in the ground.
    If your soil is light and loamy you may be able to place seeds in the soil.

    Rain could wash away your efforts though and dislodge the seeds.
