Will these seeds be good for next summer (2014) in Western Pennsylvania, USA?

If they are heirloom seeds they should germinate. Keep them cool or even in the freezer until spring or until ready to sow. Actually they should keep for more than one season and will produce seeds to replant each year.

Yes. I keep my seeds in the freezer in air tight bags and have had some last for over 8 years!

I live in Rhode Island and the winters are somewhat harsh. When would you recommend I plant the seeds?

The best time to plant this seed is when temperatures are between 60-80 degrees, in late spring or early fall. It is difficult to keep newly seeded areas moist enough during the high heat of summer.

They should grow great there. Like others have said, you will need full sun (at least 6 hours per day,) for bloom.

don't know, haven't started yet try Todds Seeds, he seems to be very knowledgable (that is where I bought the seeds)http://toddsseeds.com/

Go for it, I am sure the season will be long enough. Besides, what will not planting them yield? :)

it depends what you are planning to plant... everything should be written on the packages with seeds... I live in Texas and I planted some herbs in December-Jan...

Sorry, I don't know if it would or not. I am only familiar with the climate around Pittsburgh, PA. I would suggest contacting someone at a botanical garden in your area or in the Botany Department of your local university for an answer.

Yesthey will withstandwarm temps and hard rains but not harsh winters that's below 36 degrees you will have a short window to pick them once they've ripened

if you live in the south, probably not too late. it's a really cool summer here and i started mine in may and they're just now getting where they might bloom soon. annual that likes the heat.

Hey Allison, I live in Beaumont, Texas so am somewhat familiar with your climate. Plant seeds in the spring, probably around April. It's a little cooler where you live. I plan to sow my seeds in March. Good luck.

This is my second season using the seeds I ordered from the same source as you have. I had no problem getting the first batch to come up in Spring of 2014 and I just used the last of the seeds for new baby Comphrey's two weeks ago and they still came up under a grow light using regular seed sprouter soil. Sorry to hear that yours are not performing for you. But I was quite impressed with the company and will be ordering varieties from the same company for next Spring.

As far as I can tell these seeds are fine. We are currently using them and planted them last year as well. If you want to, you may want to check out publications like Mother Earth News to get more background on seed (companies). Through that magazine we have started using Southern Exposure Seed Exchange because of their reputation (and they are in NO way fully or partially owned by Monsatan, Syngenta, Cargill, etc)

We are in Ohio mostly Zone 5, but unless your growing season is short - these should do fine in zone 4. I even have watermelons and pumpkins right now. We can also start our seeds in our greenhouse as of this past spring so that helps.

Depending on where you live (how far north) but, I think thay should be ok since they sprout fairly quick and, with the rain in the fall, the plants shoulsd establish fairly well before going dormant in winter

Honestly, I don't know. I'm trying here in Virginia. We planted three in the spring, with manure. They summered nicely. we just applied some heavy mulch in anticipation of winter. Hope yours and ours do well. Susan Berry

I heard about this and hear they reseed and grow easily in Mexico. They are in many Mexican recipes. I would think you would need a good hot summer season and a trellis situation. Save seeds and replant for warm season. Have not grown yet .
