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.
2023 was supposed to be the year of the carrot, but because of the tumor the magic didn't happen. I still plan to grow the Bugs Bunny Carrots in the blue barrel of sand, but that didn't happen last year, but it's going to happen this year.
Prices per pack at the year purchased / packed.
