Would putting them in a mason jar with a tightly screwed on lid be good
enough for this? I keep them in the house right here by the computer..
In a drawer... Or should I keep seeds in a mason jar, in a plastic bag,
or in both in the refrigerator, or freezer? Lots of possibilities..
Wanted to throw my q&A at everyone,
