Article - 8 seeds which may last up to 5 years
« on: May 02, 2017, 02:29:26 PM »
I cannot guarantee the storage life of these seeds, because your container and the temperature plays a large part on how long they will survive.  They will laster longer than other types of plants.

DO be sure to get non-hybrid seeds when you purchase these or you risk not being able to save viable seeds for next season.

The seeds are:

  • Broccoli
  • Cabbage
  • Cauliflower
  • Cucumber
  • Muskmelons
  • Spinach
  • Radishes
  • Lettuce
Personally, I don't think Lettuce or Cucumbers are great food items, but the rest are certainly good.
