Storing Seeds - Garden Seeds
If you're thinking about storing seeds saved from the garden, you'll need to remember a few things. You want the seeds to be dry when you store them and you want the seeds to stay dry while in storage. The process of drying seeds will vary from seed to seed. Leaving most seeds in a warm dry place for about two weeks after harvesting them will be sufficient for storing most seeds. You may leave the seeds in a warm dry place for a little longer just to be sure. It won't harm the viability of the seeds.
After the seeds are done drying, you will want to move them to a cool dry place for storage. Put them in a glass jar or other suitable container for storing seeds. You can add silica gel to help absorb any moisture that collects during storage.
