    Way to go! It's never too late to start. Depending on the seed company, the "days" can be counted from time of transplanting seedling from germinating tray, transplanting plants into the ground, or sowing seed in the ground. While "days" should be used as a guideline, they can vary due to many factor; temperature, light, soil, nutrition and seed vigor to name a few.

    Yes, it's possible to produce suicide seeds that develop but never produce offspring. But I highly doubt this is the case, as the technology necessary to produce such a plant is very rare. Most often, insects have already eaten the seed before you've gotten to it. Continue searching for these seeds, and look into the ways to grow that variety since some seeds need a stratification period where the seed needs to be chilled or frozen for a while before growing.

    Yes, you can still use it. However, the germination rate will probably be quite low.

    For March, you can put your peas in outdoors in mid-March, as you can Swiss chard and spinach. Indoors at the beginning of March, you can get any of your cole crops (https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/vgen/cole-crop-plants.htm) started and they should be able to be planted out into the garden by mid to late March, depending on your last frost date.

    You do not need to start all indoors unless the weather is cooler where you are and you simply want to get a jump on the season. Many people choose to start them indoors since it allows the plants to get some size on them and become stronger prior to transplanting outside in about mid-spring. Those that are directly sown in the garden are fine to plant per label instructions.
