What is the best way to store seeds from morning glorys or zinnias?
I collected zinnia and cosmos seeds in ziploc bags last year and then put them inside rubbermain containers and they grew beautifully this year (I stored them in the basement).
Reply:I let them dry thoroughly then place them in a plastic coffeecan with a paper towel. Then I put them in my garage; some seeds perform better if they are allowed to freeze over the winter. The paper towel absorbs the moisture. I save seeds like this every year.





I carefully preserved morning glory seeds last year, then didn't need to use them, as approximately 10,000 morning glory seeds sprouted all over my property this spring.
Reply:Cool and dry. In a paper envelope in a sealed glass or plastic container in the vegetable crisper of the refrigerator is usually a good choice for garden seeds.
Reply:Let them dry thoroughly out of direct sunlight and just store in a cool dry place where mice won't find them. I put them in baggies and mark what they are and the date on a postit inside the bag.
