A lot of growers store their seeds either in the frig. or in the freezer.
I store in the frig. if I'm only storing for one year. They go in the deep
freeze if its for more than a year. A lot of growers file a small hole in
the edge of the seeds to help them take up water to germinate faster.
Many use an emery board, but don't file too deep....just enough to get
through the hard seed coat.
