I never say a seed won't grow as you won't know until you sow them. You could do a germination test first if you have doubts.

Personally I wouldn't sow carrot seeds outside now - there's too much of a risk of cold and snow, and I worry the seeds would rot before they germinate.

I wouldn't sow in a tray and transplant outside later either - I've not had any success with that in the past.

Thanks VC was aware of that but just wondered if anybody had already done that and got a result..!!!

No chance of a Quick reply from me.
On 31st December I sowed a trough of carrots in an unheated GH - they've germinated. They were from an opened packet, originally sown 12 Oct 2017.

Go on, sow them.

They should be fine - I regularly sow carrot seeds that are more than a year old. They don't keep as long as some seeds but a couple of years is usually fine. I doubt the fact that they are pelleted will make any difference.

I’d still use them, though later in the spring if I were putting them outdoors. After all, you have nothing to lose...
If they haven’t come up in a couple of months time, just put some other seeds/seedlings in the gap instead ;-)

[Snoop Puss]

I hope so, because I've got some that I didn't sow last year. Waste not, want not and all...

Fingers crossed for both of us (and anyone else).
