Harold Walker asked:

Out of curiosity how do you folk over yonder store your 'left over' seeds?


Any that I save or collect are first dried, cleaned as much as
possible to remove any debris, placed in brown paper bags, which are
put into a plastic airtight container together with one of those
silica gel sachets to keep the air dry. The container then goes into
the salad crisper in a spare fridge until the seeds are needed.
Sensitive tropicals are kept at room temperature, but otherwise given
similar treatment. It works for me.
