Re: Storing seeds

John-
I don't think that you will get a consensus.  I bet that there are other

ways too. and i bet most everybodies is slightly different.
the basic thing is to dry them out thoroughly and keep them cool and
dry.

after they are really dried I put them in a zip lock baggy with
a paper towel, then i put it in my cloths dresser under the cloths in 
the drawer of cloths that i hardly ever wear.  that ensures that they 
stay in a dark place.  

good luck,
