Prepping For Abundance
These varieties are garden standouts known for productivity and flavor. We all like to be prepared. That's what this collection is all about. We offer these seed bundles packaged in Mylar bags which include an oxygen absorber and a planting calendar.
Mylar offers an extremely low Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) due to its thick foil laminate layer. Providing three layers of protection from moisture, light, and odor. Mylar is extremely flexible and thin, while also being very strong and durable.
Seeds do not just expire when stored properly. In fact the oldest viable seed germinated after 2000 years. It had been preserved in a cool, dry place, not by freezing. At Siskiyou Seeds we store our seeds cool, dark and dry. These pre-selected seeds stored in Mylar with oxygen absorbers and a planting calendar takes some of the planning out of your hands and allows you to feel more prepared for the abundance ahead.
We recommend this product is stored in a cool, dry place. If done so will remain viable for at least 5 years.
