Hi all as you can see i am new here and want to get involved.
I am a first time grower and enjoying the trial and error approach.. lol
Although so far so good.
Anyway i have bought to many courgette seeds and think i would be better of swapping for other seeds to try and build a collection to get me going
So if intrested lets get swapping....
Hi, your seeds will last a long time, I planted some 6 year old ones this year among others.XX Jeannine

Oh great, if knowbody wants them they can stay in the tin
Thanks for your help
Welcome Palmski. Yes, they will last several years, providing you store them cool and dry. Mine are stored in a filing cabinet in a corner of the room that never gets sunshine on it. Stored in a garden shed, they will not keep well at all.
The other comment (I hope you don't mind) is that most swappers like to know the variety name or names. There are many different courgettes out there and most people are only interested in certain types.
