Please tell me how long the seeds can be kept? I have some that are two or more years old and wonder if they will produce.
Thank you for this wonderful article.
Seeds keep indefinitely - but it depends on how they are stored. Go ahead and sow your seed, I sow seeds a year old slightly thicker than I would new seeds. That way you are assured that you'll get the number you want - and a few extra are always thoughtful gifts to your favorite gardening friends or donations to community gardens.
Occasionally I do have seeds that don't germinate. I will just replace them as quickly as possible - meaning that sometimes the plants are a week or two behind those I would have planted earlier.
