I gave up trying to tidy mine, and used it as an excuse to buy another box to store seeds in x

Hmmm, I bought several boxes a few years back

I imagine it'll be more than Mr Fothergills that have been selling this seed, most of the big companies will be buying from the same giant seed producers.

GYO magazine have given Zucchini seeds as freebies with the magazine. They're T&M seeds. No date "when packed" but Sow bydates of April 2021 and May 2022.
I'm going to bin them as I have plenty of other courgette seeds and its not worth the risk, IMO.

More bitter courgette seeds recalled... Guessing it may be best to test any of them before eating first.
It's Unwins TriStar as well now

Tristar F1 is a mix of 3 types/colours of Courgette - the green one is Zucchini.
