how long will the seeds last generally speaking before planting ...a couple of years?

It depends. The company claims that the seeds will last 10 years; however, I am always suspicious of this. If the seeds are kept in a cool, dry place then yes, they will last a long time.

I check the box and didn't see any expiration date (usually its one or two years depending on the type of plant). But since the plants will give you new usable seeds you just need to save some when it is time.

I think this is going to depend on part where you live and how the grain is stored. Unless it is stored in some place that is very warm and humid it will be good for at least 1/2 a year-- that is how long I have kept it. I suspect that it can last even longer.

from some of the research i have done, the mushrooms themselves never really take more then a week or two to grow, ... but the spores have to build up and multiply in the soil first, ... just watched a youtube video, from the looks of it at least 80 days in ideal conditions "out doors" , one guy said they are too random to count on they might not "FRUIT" for years. I bet if you grew them right and set up the conditions and temperature, you could have them in a month or two, i don't know, i just think so. "YOUTUBE" is a good place to look for info.

I'm not sure I said "forever" lol. Seeds are not such that you can place a definite time span on them but some seeds found in King Herod's tomb were planted over 2000 years later and germinated. I'm not in any way saying that you should plan on these or any other seeds lasting that long but by freezing them in the package that they come in, you can expect them to be good for decades.

I'm in WV, planted about 2-3 weeks ago, mine are about 6 -7 inches and every seed came up. Also seed from last years throw-away's came up. This is the only seed I have planted for 4 years now and have never had a dud. Am planning a second planting this weekend. They are crispy and tender, unlike any other except the Persian variety.

It's barely grown or spread in over two years since I bought it and planted it.

I keep mine in the fridge per package instructions. The date the seeds were packed and the date they should be used by are both on the package and that is a year-long span.

I didn't check the package but Chia seeds are the ultimate survival food for long-term storage they have a life shelf of 4 to 5 years!

It took a couple of weeks before mine even sprouted. It's been about 6 weeks now, and they are still only about 4" in length. They are still green, tho. Guess that's a good sign.

I wish I could answer your question, in terms of "area" or square-footage, but at this time I am merely storing the seeds. In terms of immediate usage my yard in under several inches of snow and ice so I can't answer your question accuartely and I apologize. My primary intent upon purchase was for short-term storage...which may turn into long-term stroage at this point.

Most seeds last for years if properly stored. After a few years though they start taking longer to germinate and the rate of germination decreases. Also keep in mind that these produce seed that you can save too. To properly store them put them in a zip-lock bag and put them in the refrigerator. They should be good for years.

I just got seeds, they grew for about six months then all died. I'm guessing they didn't get nearly enough sun :(

It seems it's at least 2 years, so patience is needed! Ours is outside in a pot right now and growing pretty nicely! Have to take it inside for winter, though.

I spread my seeds outside in a flower bed with average/slightly improved soil but nothing special, gave them water, took maybe 8-11 days and they sprouted like crazy. They can take the cold but I plan to keep a patch going year round. Where my bed sits, they get about 4+ hrs of sun in the morning. If you don't have a garden or a bed, you could use a planter. I have used that method too and it worked fine.

Seeds stay fresh for 1-2 years and for up to five years in a dark dry place no warmer than 72 degrees. I store my seeds in canning jars with metal tops for best seal. You can store the seeds in mason jars inside the fridge or freezer for longer life span too.

I am in zone 9. So far the seedlings are doing great. Even when it hit 90 last week. I lost a few but it is to be expected. I put them out early, at 2.5 weeks due to space issues indoors. Tomatoes, peppers, beans, carrots, radishes, cucumber and all squashes are thriving. Some other root vegetables died in the heat. But they were really small when I took them out.
