Seeds can't read 'em anyway. All it means is that by law a certain percentage of seeds have to germinate (did you know that? and the rate is lower for parsnips otherwise you wouldn't be able to sell parsnip seed at all because they're buggers to germinate). And after that date, the rate might be less than is legal. But some of them will still come up. You hear stories of hundred-year-old seeds from some Victorian botanist's collection being sowed and coming up, so give it a try. I totally ignore “sow before” dates. Seeds can’t read ‘em anyway.
