Seeds Just Arrived
« on: November 25, 2008, 19:41 »
Thanks to whoever mentioned Alan Romans in a previous thread, my order arrived today, 19 packets of various delights for a bargain £15.  The only extra's I'll need will be my pots and onion sets and they are on order down the lottie.

I really shouldn't be this excited at my age, but I am  :oops:

Anyway, where's the best place to store my precious seeds?  Will they be OK stored in my shed, do they need particular conditions?  I could look it up but there so many knowledgable peeps here this is much easier  :D

I'd say anywhere dry and cool - if your shed is prone to damp, or freezing, I'd avoid it.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Keep them in a box - snails have eaten quite a lot of the packets in my shed.
 I keep my main store in a cardboard box in the sitting room so I can look at them from time to time...
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

Beware of mice. Cardboard box no good.

Alan Titchmarsh always advised to put the in a tuppaware box and keep them in the veg section of the fridge.

Yep the fridge in a Tupperware is best

Mine are in a cold cupboard now as my husband kept chucking them out the  fridge to make room for his lager  :evil:  :evil:  Grounds for divorce I reckon  :wink:

I'd had to move the food out of the fridge & Mrs Digger won't stand for it, so I'd be looking for a new home. (You do B & B don't you CQ?).

Airtight tin in the pantry has never let me down.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

shoe box with seeds written on the lid, sat on my bookshelf next to the john seymour books, has worked thus far.
