How do you keep your seeds ?

Just a question how do you store your seeds ?

I keep all my seeds in the fridge, all dry before they go in some in small plastic resealable plastic bags, plus I can write on them what they are if need be.

How does everyone else keep their seeds

I keep mine in a plastic Tupperware tub in cupboard under stairs. I think ill move them to the fudge when/if warmer weather comes but my fridge has a tendency to freeze things from time to time so I'm not sure

 

Mine go in the fridge too Spruce

 

We had this a few years ago ... here's mine in shoeboxes ...

 

I keep mine in little envelops labled with their names and the years they are collected. Then all the envelops go into a box (1 litre ice cream box is just the right size for me) with 2 tea spoonful grains rice (this is to keep the seeds dry). Afterwards I put the box in the fridge.

At the moment I've got 3 boxes of seeds in the fridge and I'm getting deaf to complaints.

 

Safe! (Have you seen the price they are these days? )

I keep mine in a wooden jewel box , in a cold dark garage. I don't keep seeds for more the 2 years . Some seed-packs I split and use half this year and half next year.

 

In our Aldi they are currently 19c - 99c, in Lidl 29c - 99c. In Aldi today, even the ones on pre-impregnated 'tape' and 'rings' were 99c for 3 plants/veggies or 5 herbs. Surely Aldi and Lidl do the cheaper ones there also?

Besides being in shoeboxes and in a cool, dark cupboard, like Spruce I don't keep them long.

 

Mine are all in there original packets if new and in small brown envelopes if they are garden collected, I keep them in a tupperware box in my wardrobe. The only time they see a fridge is if germination requires it.

 

By the by, I hate seeds stored in little zip-lock plastic bags. A number of seed vendors provide them in those. The seeds get fully charged with static electricity and are both a nightmare to get out of the bags (and seed gets caught up on the "zip"), and it makes it harder to hand-sow between thumb-and-forefinger as the static charge persists. Much prefer the somewhat opaque bags made out of a material a bit like greaseproof paper.

 

popped into Woodies the other day, had planned to pick up some Nasturtium seed plus a few others...well, changed my mind sharpish when i saw the price...packet of Nasturtium seeds were 4.50 they could bloody well keep 'em
