Tkx Gary for your comment, but I was not referring to dill weed what so

green/yellow beans, snow peas, and radishes.
My old brain must have been in a "pickle!"
The Organic Gardening Encyclopedia has a "longevity of seeds" list
somewhere' most everything is good for at least 2 years. I germination
tested a bunch of my stored stuff, and the pickling cuke seed that I grew
several years ago was still 100%.
Having said that, you may note that the packets say "Packed for XXXX," and
with a stated germination percentage for that year. The seed may actually
be older.
Unless your livelihood depends on it, just plant the seeds....
