Seed shelf life.
« on: September 02, 2010, 21:45 »
Hi,
I am about to buy some seeds that are on offer at a local shop but before I do I was wondering what is the shelf life of the following seeds.
Will they keep until next year and if so what are the best conditions to keep them in ?

Thanks in advance FB

January King Cabbage
Romaine Lettuce

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Be quick before they get snapped up :) well ... before the choice ones go. At my local Wyvale their sell off seed packet at 50p each this time of the year - but the Shirley was already gone :(

The only one I don't buy is Parsnips - I sow them fresh each year. I only buy enough Bean seeds for next year. But for the rest, if the packet is expensive then I buy 2 years worth in case its sold out before next years sale.#

Being a sad person I have been carrying a list in my wallet for a couple of months waiting for a suitable price and having then knowing I have a list to hand of what is running out in my shoebox
