Storing seeds

[veggiechicken]

My garage is quite hot in summer, possibly because it has a corrugated metal roof. Its cold in winter though!!

Metal tin in the fridge.

Fine until “someone” pulled them out and put them in a cupboard. I reckon the metal box then developed a lot of condensation that ruined most of the seeds. Until this year it has worked really well.

In closed boxes on a shelf in my study. Not ideal because it's not cold, but at least they stay at a constant temperature so they seem to stay viable at least until their best before date.

A carrier bag of seeds, a little filing box of seeds and a tin of seeds all kept in my crafts room.

I have a lovely RHS seed tin, it's black and red with flowers on it.
Obviously it's not big enough :-)
The overflow of mostly open packets lives in a paper carrier bag in my kitchen.

Mine are in an air tight plastic box in the fridge door.

My seeds are in 2 shoeboxes and scattered across shelves in the little bedroom. This winter i am going to organise them................

Deffo A waterproof container is essential ...don�t ask me how I know

I�m going for those clip top plastic boxes and the silica sachets in future for anything that I couldn�t easily replace and will find somewhere cool in the house as temperatures in the shed or greenhouse are too variable.

I�m curious about freezing seeds to keep them viable for longer. Has anyone tried it?
