yup.... 'cept lettuce, parsnips, think orach seed doesn't keep either.
Usually they only last the season they're purchased for, no longer.
Maybe if there are way better storage facilities than most households,
you might get another year out of them, so you'd have to grow them out
each year and save new seed.

I don't know about parsnip and orach seeds' longevity, but I
routinely use lettuce seed that is several years old - it
has very good germination.
