To test seeds for viability, wrap a few seeds in a moist paper towel, label and keep at room temperature in a plastic bag. Most seeds should germinate in a week or less. Either transplant to indoor pots or discard if too early to be started. Discard packets of seed that are too old to germinate. Buy flower and vegetable seeds early to get the best selection.
Popular varieties do sell out fast.
