Seeds out of date.

[ray316]

l have planted some packets of seeds l had in the shed that had 04 and 06 on the year. Some are flower seeds and some was for spring onion and tomato, this was done about 3 weeks ago and nothing has happene. Do seeds have a use by sell by date and are seeds no good after this period.

Germination rates fall rapidly after expiry date.

Always try and use in date seeds IMO...

keeping opened seed packets in a humid shed that gets hot in the sun will shorten their life.

If you keep seeds in a fridge, they will last much longer.
