I agree that "packed on" and "use by" dates are useless and misleading. The method that seems the most forthright and helpful is to include the date and results of the germination test. Johnny's, Turtle Tree and Fedco do this and I really appreciate it. This year I had several shockingly poor results from seeds from "new" packets from 3 different sources that either listed "packed on" dates or no dates at all and this thread's really got me thinking about where to place my orders for next season. Does anyone know of other sellers who share germination information?
