How to buy seed
Look at when the seeds expire.
Don't be tempted to buy seed that is past the expire date because seed deteriorates after that time. If you do get seed post the expiry date, make sure it's a bargain and don't be disappointed if it refuses to germinate or produces poor.

OPTIONS:
[-] Look for the suggested time period in the seed package. Any time after that date depends on the brand or ingredient..
[-] Buy enough seed and not too much. Having too much seed and nowhere to plant it will mean that the unused seed will go to waste..
[-] Getting seed for an entire plant isn't as hard as it sounds. Choose a spot that receives lots of sunlight..
[-] Seeds often give you a lower rate of germination than starter seeds. If the seeds start to die before then, look for a cheaper option..
