Sharon,
I don't know about your seeds, but when I store heirloom tomato seeds, I
put them in a piece of nylon stocking and then in a jar with powdered
milk or rice as dessicants. Keep them cool.
They will hold for years but the viability diminishes over time. Why not
cycle (part of) them again next year.
