Planning on storing your seeds for next year? How?



The change of seasons is right around the corner! Are you planning on maybe starting a garden next spring or you might have some spectacular flowers that you would like to pass on. How do you store seeds?

First of all make sure that they are stored in an airtight glass container. Baby jars, small cosmetic jars that seal airtight are great! You can even decorate them and give them away to your friends who garden. If you plan on storing the seeds long term make sure that the glass is truly airtight! Cut your own gaskets out of food wrap, discarded balloons or inner tubes. A gasket should fit like a doughnut over the jar rim, yet sized to allow the lid to seal itself properly without interfering with the threads.

Remember moisture of any type can produce mildew which will severely affect their viability! Good luck and happy gardening!
