We have been following suggestions found here. Cool dark dry place, Airtight containers, and the like. We also store some in the freezer in airtight packages. We are all glad about learning more about keeping seeds and other gardening information that we have found here.

I have learned not to skip drying them very well because some of my favorite vegetable seeds actually got moldy and nasty after only a couple weeks when I failed to dry them good. All the seeds that were dried well are still nice and ready to plant even from a couple years ago. Just a tip... works for me! :0)Mindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284544639417059673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333376133878294044.post-80472325383992492532012-12-20T16:24:30.541-08:002012-12-20T16:24:30.541-08:00We put our vegetable seeds in plastic bags or cont...We put our vegetable seeds in plastic bags or containers, then store them in various places.
