Recycling sprouts from viability tests?

| I'm not sure if this question should go here or under one of the seed forums, but anyhow...
I have a bunch of seed packets ranging from 3-7 years old. I wanted to do a viability test on them, see which were still good, what germination rates, etc, so I wrapped up 10 of each in wet paper towels, and stuck them in sandwich baggies near my radiator. So I should have a clue in about a week I think. Here's the question: Can I plant those that have sprouted? If so, in any particular way? It seems wasteful to toss them. Or maybe I just have to toss them all into a sandwich? :) (They're all herb or vegetable seeds) Anyone have a clue?
Thanks.

| Nevermind, I'm a dork. I found my answer in the FAQ of the starting from seed forum. Too bad there's no way for me to pull the post. sorry. |

| MuppetK, please don't be sorry b/c I can't find what you are referring to. I'm assuming you just plant them in their own homes/pots. Saves transplanting. Is that the answer? Only problem is they may be started way too early and will get too big too soon as in the case of fast growing annuals. Barbara. |
