I have a bit of problems with some things on this list:I keep pepper seeds for 4-5 years, they remain viable; leek should be in the 1 year category (neither can I keep onion seeds for two years, one year is a maximum), they dont store for longer than one year.Next are carrots and celery: one year only!And I don't see the point in making a difference between broccoli and other cabbages, after six years, my broccoli seed is still viable. Lots depends on the storing conditions though, try to keep the seeds dry and avoid great temperature contrasts, this will help a lot,
