[Michlib-l] seed library questions

[Amy Winter]

Those are some great questions!

We too are starting a seed catalog using the old card catalog.

I am also wondering about the age of seeds; they do have a best used by date.
Is it worth keeping seeds older than 1 or 2 years?

Hello,

For those libraries that have a Seed Library. How long do you keep the seed library out for patrons? We do have some “cold crop” seeds for Autumn planting. Also, how do you handle this years seeds that didn’t go out> Do you recirculate them in the next year?

Thank you!
