I have packets and packets of opened and half used veggie and flower seed
packets. Can I keep them for another year, and what is the best method
for
storing them? Can I perhaps freeze them ?
TIA

I always keep my seed packets, both opened and new ones in the salad drawer
of the refrigerator. I've done this for years and very rarely have a
failure.
And as I'm a tight-fisted sod, I've already bought my stock of seeds for
next 2006 season because local stockists often have
bargains,.....two-for-one etc, stock clearances and so on, at this time of
year. Same with equipment and ancillaries.
The only downer I had this year was with some old Lobjots Coss lettuce
seeds. I tried three sowings and only got one seedling.....which I promptly
snapped in two when I came to plant it. But so what ? A failure isn't a
catastrophe.
