Can seeds be used next year?
I have some left over heirloom tomato seeds as well as a few assorted
vegetables. Can these be used next spring? Even the minimum order of seeds is far more than I can plant in my little yard. |

As long as you store them in a dry place aroung room temp or lower. Wouldn't put them in a damp place, attic, etc. |

Most (but not all) types of vegetable seeds can be saved and used the next year. Some will last for several years.

I'll buy some other varieties next year and also seed the ones I have left over this year. I gave my extras away to a few friends and on Freecycle and there were plenty of people who wanted some even after I ran out. It's pretty easy to grow the seeds so my plan for next year is to grow far more than I did this year, and just give the extras away on Freecycle. It really doesn't cost much and I have a big bag of potting soil left over. I guess that will be good next year as well. |

It is very easy to grow seeds of what my plan for next year is to grow much more than me this year, and only give away extra Free Cycle.
