Most seeds can be stored at freezer temps long term, IF they are thoroughly
dry (seed banks test a sample) and stored in a vapor-tight container. I
know Seed Saver's Exchange uses heat sealable bags rather like the
"seal-a-meal" ones, but heaver and with a foil layer.
In just cool/dry conditions, peppers only last a few years for me, as
opposed to 8 or 10 or more for brassicas and tomatoes.
