I got my seeds from a known local fertilizer store and they swore they were last years seed but they come in a generic bag with the variety hand written on it and no other info.

I get just about all my seed from a company in South Georgia call Hoss Tools. They guarantee fresh seed and each batch of seed is germ tested and labeled on the package. They are a good company ran by a father and son and the take costumer service to heart. You pay a little more for the seed but shipping isn’t bad and usually get the seed in a few days. So far the only issue I had with any of their seed is the zipper cream seed. Not sure if it’s the seed or if I planted to soon after I turned all those turnips under. They have a nice website and lots of informative YouTube videos.

It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.
