I have all of the seeds I need for this year and next and probably the year after that too. I've now got about 16 packets of seeds that I've received free with magazines and stuff that are dated 2016. Am I safe to assume that most of them will be ok (excluding poss carrots and parsnips) if I store them unopened in a sealed container and keep them for 2016?

If stored properly they'll be fine well beyond that date. Sell by dates really iritate me. Oh and the carrots will be fine too
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be? -
Thanks Alison, I thought that would be the case. Can you please define stored properly? Do they need to be kept in the dark? At the minute I've got most of them in clear plastic tubs.Remember it's just a bad day, not a bad life 😁Comment

If they're in packets they don't need to be stored in the dark. Just keep them cool.Comment

Kept cool is the main thing, some folk store them in sealed boxes in the fridge. Don't keep them in the garage/shed/greenhouse as the temperatures fluctuate too much.

Mine live in old metal biscuit tins in the front room which as our living room is rather warmer than a fridge although I am a bit tight with the heating and the shelves are nowhere near the radiator. Also you obviously need to keep them dry but am guessing you'd worked that bit out
