Storing Seeds
Hi,
Beth is right about storing seeds in the refrig. They should last 3-5 years.
One thing on freezing seeds, make sure that the moisture content of the
seeds is down near 12-15 percent before freezing them. Let them dry pretty
well before freezing.

<You put them in the fridge in an airtight container with a dessicant -
