With all the talk of shortages I’ve been buying a few different types of clover seed this winter, among other things. One of them, admittedly one of the “BOB” types, has a statement on the back of it stating that it’s “inoculated until 10/31/22”. (Plus the packaging doesn’t exactly look new….kind of beat up)
Am I wrong to take that as a kind of expiration date?
If so, my planting date will be about 8/1/22….which is what, 2 months before they would toss the seed in a $1 bargain bin?
I paid a premium price for this seed and that’s fine, but I’m also suspicious that I just bought second rate seed at first rate prices.
Send it back or forget it and plant?..that’s my question.
Note: one other type of clover seed I bought had to be pre-ordered now and will ship in March sometime. That seed must be fresher?
