Re: storing seeds

   OK heres my 2 cents,

     I grow a lot of Heirloom vegetables and it is very important for me to
store the seed properly so I store most of them in (Barrier Pouches) for those
of you who haven't heard of these before they are white envelopes lined with a
type of foil that is heat sealable with an ordinary clothes iron,
  When the seeds are dried and sealed properly in this type of pouch and
stored in your refrigerator they are supposed to keep seeds viable (5) times
longer then any other types of containers, I can personally vouch for these, I
opened up a pouch of bean seed last year that was dated June of 1981 and had a
75% germination success, usually bean seed is only good for about 4-5 years.
As long as you make sure that the seeds are good and dry, (I usually wait a
few weeks after I think there good and dry to be sure).  They come in two
sizes from this place I'm going to post, the small ones hold about a dozen
large AG seeds and the Large ones hold about 3-4 times that amount.  I get
mine from: Southern Exposure Seed Exchange- www.southernexposure.com  For
those of you who have seeds from pumpkins over 700 lbs, we might be able to
work out a trade for some of mine! heh-heh.     Happy Halloweenie!  (Elkskin)
