B_gger, does that mean the freezer was not the best place!!! :evil:

Mine are in the beer fridge.  Limits the amount of beer :twisted: , and 'encourages' the drinker with the scale of the planting task.

Actually, he says the quantity drives him to drink ? :shock:

i have four of those large storage boxes about three foot by one foot all practically full but then i do need just a little bit more seed than you guys.

ideally longer term i would like a fridge for them all.

you should have seen the size of the seed fridge at Pentland Plants Nr Edinburgh where i used to work it was a huge 8 foot square walk in fridge!!!

I keep mine in an old Persil tin all sorted into envelopes with a month on each. For succession sowings I sow and just move the packet on an envelope. Well, that’s the theory!

And I keep the tin under the stairs. Tho at the moment I'm so excited that I'm going to get to sow some of them soon I keep getting them out to read the packets and stuff!!!

In a shoe box in the sitting room, in ice cream boxes in the greenhouse, in a paper bag in the shed. And some in the post. And mostly a bit jumbled.

Ditto Rainbow, mine are in clear plastic bags with the month to sow written on and if they are to go in the greenhouse/outside etc.

But I'm betting when Spring arrives it'll all go to pot (no pun intended)  

I'm excited but nervous at getting stuff wrong, but it will be my first year so I'm entitled to make a 'few' mistakes arn't I ?

Yep - as an allotment newbie too I'm definitely expecting to make mistakes. The scale is quite different from the 3ft by 3ft bed I have in my garden. But I’m guessing that the mistakes (and the forum) goin to be the best way to learn!
