Re: Seed storage
I germinated a seed from 1991 (Barber 730) this past summer which was kept
in a mayonnaise jar in the basement, a small hole was poked in the top of
the lid for minimal circulation. Keep it simple as for storage. A man that
has grown for years told me 2 years ago he germinated a 1984 seed which was
kept in an envelope in his garage, not a heated garage and withstood the
temperature changes. Keep simple what can be. Hope this helps.
