I store mine in an airtight plastic container with silica gel inside to
absorb any spare moisture and place in the fridge not the freezer....some of
my tomato seeds are over five years old and still viable.....H

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

You might freeze them, but they store well in a cool to cold, but dry area.
I put mine in a coffee can with a plastic top (actually 5 or 6 coffee cans).

And when you lose everything and hit rock bottom, you know who your friends
are.

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.

I am with you on this one re stocking up on this year's seeds.....I call it
'prudent allocation of available funds'...H

We just keep ours in an old wooden wine box in a cool dry dark place (under
the stairs) and don't seem to have any problems with them keeping year on
year. With our self saved seeds we just ensure they are very dry before
bagging them up (in paper bags not plastic).
