There are a lot of people here on TB2K who we hear from all the time, and we wanted to let all of you know about a new item we offer that may be of interest.

What is included:

* 37,000 seeds. 1.4 Lbs of Non-Hybrid seeds, Heirloom Vegetables, sealed in an airtight military grade Seed Vault.
* These seeds are so hard to find because they are grown by small independent farmers, not huge corporate seed companies.

Great question, first of all, you want to put your seeds in the freezer when you get them, this can extend their life considerably or for over 25 years or longer.

But if they are at room temperature, some estimates on how long some of the seeds will last is:

If it is a corn or bean seed or a large seed, 10 years.
If it is a small seed, up to 4 years.

All in all, we recommend keeping them in a freezer. Also, the mylar bags have a zip lock seal on them, so once the bags are opened, they can be resealed.
