Doreen, that's the most high-tech gardening tidbit I've ever heard...! I'm
impressed!

I placed a fairly large seed order today (from Pinetree: www.superseeds.com,
many thanks to Lisa in Toledo for that reference) because I want to try lots
of new things. Their web site isn't the best I've ever seen, but the prices
seemed best to me. Anyway, with such a large order,  I'll be left with lots
of half used seed packets. I plan on storing them in my cold-storage room in
the basement. It's very dry (all of Utah is) and stays at 45 degrees pretty
much year-round. Is that a good plan? Thanks!
