How to store seeds?
The unopened seed packets will be fine, generally have a sow by date on them. Morning Gllory (Ipomea) seed keeps fairly well just dry in an envelope the nasturtium should be alright as well.

I think it will do better outside too, probably won't flower this year but will give it a chance to build up its reserves for the spring.

Jasminum Polyanthum flowering in Summer?!
Maybe the cooler outdoor temperatures induced it into flowering. It would have started growing the buds before this heat arrived.

Salix pink flamingo dying???
Some variegated leaf plants scorch easier than their green leaved relatives, I think its just how they are. The heat and bright sunshine of recently would probably be the cause.

Welcome to the forum. Trying to get year-round interest in small borders is not easy. You don't say how much time you are prepared to spend in the garden. Personally, for a small space like that, I would put Daffodils and Tulips for the spring and Roses for the summer and autumn.
