So I'm gearing up for spring & while I'm getting myself organized I thought I'd share my seed storage system.Everyone's got their own way of doing it of course, but the plastic shoeboxes have worked really well for me. 4 in total (2 veg, beans & flowers/herbs). Everything in paper envelopes (the original or ones I fold myself) then in plastic ziploc bags.
I get really great longevity & germination rates often years past the averages. I honestly believe it's the ziploc bags keeping moisture out - but that's just my opinion.
Spreadsheet to keep track of it all. Quick & easy way to see what I have/need. I try to be good about using older seeds first - but I'm a lazy gardener (thus the stockpile lol).
I also keep sticky notes on each seed packet w last date planted & germination rate bc I've never been good about keeping an actual journal. I'm not *that* organized. ๐
Anyway. Just thought I'd share. I'd love to see how everyone else does it!
