But Margaret are you sure it is fresh? I can buy last years seed. And
considering that the seed is in racks in an outdoor area, I have no
confidence that the seed will germinate as well as new. I have not been back
in the last week or so, and it is Feb. so their stores may have been
replenished. Our planting time is almost over for the cool weather plants,
and nothing was available in Nov. when I started looking. Usually the spring
season seeds come in just as we need them. It is the fall and winter
plantings that are hard to keep up with.
