Carol over at May Dreams Gardens found some seed packets dating back to 1886 when she was going through her seeds the other day. I didn’t see any ‘packed for’ dates on these, but I suspect they’re older.

As you may have guessed, these are actually vintage seed packets from my friend Marcia’s collection. I’ve still got a few packets left from my Y2K purchases, but Carol’s 1986 packs beat me by more than a decade.
