Are my garden vegetable seeds good next year too?
I just planted my first garden and didn’t have room to use the entire seed packet. Should I save them and use them again next year? Will they still be good? The package says the sell by date is the end of this year so it seems like they would still be good. If not I’d like to give them to someone else so they can be used. Thanks.
I put my leftover seeds in a zip lock bag and into a plastic container in the frig. Some seeds can last many years that way. Germination will diminish over the years but yes, it is possible to use your leftovers next year. What destroys seeds fastest is moisture and heat. Keep them in a cool dry place and they will last quite a while. I am planting cantaloupe seeds this year which are two years old. They were kept in my study in a desk drawer. The house never gets hotter them 78F. I fully expect the seeds to germinate. You can also put your seeds in containers as described in the freezer. Dry seeds in a freezer or frig will last many years. Keep them. They are too expensive to discard.
