When I have put seeds into fridge. They are planted in flats with soil. 10 pack to each flat. They are watered when they appear dry. They are stacked so usually only the top one dries out. I have an old (avocado coloured) fridge out in the barn so can get away with this. The seeds will germinate right in the fridge after about 3-4 months. I have always thought that seeds need to breathe so perhaps staying in plastic bags suffocates them. Try puting more air in baggies or opening them every week or so.
