You can even freeze them if you seal them in a container, used to keep heirloom field pea seeds that way. I keep all the seeds in the containers in paper envelopes, the smaller batches in el cheapo coin envelopes, the rest in el cheapo small size mailing envelopes. YMMV George yup.... 'cept lettuce, parsnips, think orach seed doesn't keep either. Usually they only last the season they're purchased for, no longer. Maybe if there are way better storage facilities than most households, you might get another year out of them, so you'd have to grow them out each year and save new seed.

I think Alan Connor posted something on this a while ago but I can't seem to find it. We'll see what the other groups can add. Thanks. |
