If packs of seeds are kept in ideal conditions, then the life expectancy for Carrot seeds is 3 to 5 years. Most seed companies give you the year packed and the sow by date which is normally 2-3 years. Dobies - only give the packed year ending date and I have set a 2-year sow by like most other companies.
I have way too many seeds dating back to 2021 and they will be used in 2023, I will be sowing as early as possible and undertaking successive sowings from as early as January under the poly tents. Look at the sow by dates at the bottom of the post to see what I plan to sow when.
2023 will be the year of the carrot. I still plan to grow the Bugs Bunny Carrots in the blue barrel of sand, but that didn't happen this year as planned.
