Seeds in current issue

[SineadT]

Hello, I’m new to the magazine. I tried contacting the magazine via Facebook messenger but got no response yet. I received seeds with the current issue of the magazine but many (such as peppers) are for sowing in the Spring but sow by December 2020. I also received multiple packs of the same seed (parsnips) and not the seeds in the content in the magazine. Is this usual ? Thanks in advance

It is a thing that can happen on occasion regarding the seed sowing dates, I haven't found it to be a problem as seed often is usable after the use by date, apart from Parsnips which need to be new seed each year, so you do not want lots of those really. I will send a message to admin to see if they can help you.

Thanks so much Burnie ... I got 2 sets of parsnips which are both short dated ... think I was particularly unlucky with my batch. This is a great forum for general gardening advice. I appreciate your response.
