How do you.. store your seed packets?

No, I know how to store them.

I have so many packets, and I want to make a new system.

Do I ....

1. Just put them numerically?

2. Put them in boxes specific to their needs, i.e. needs chitting or when
to sow them?

3. If they need stratifying or scarifying?

Do you get my drift?

Any ideas. I have plenty of storage space, so that is not a problem.

 

why do you have so many ?

 

I'm probably being boring but I just put mine in alphabetical. Then I sort them in to two piles, one for early ( winter/spring sowing ) and one for later sowing ( I do my perennials end of may into start if July).

 

I just shove them in the fridge all together , then think next spring I forgot about you and you and you

 

yes very boring

 

Surely chitting, stratifying etc is all part of the sowing process, why would you keep them separate.

 

I have two boxes (those plastic ones those laundry capsules come in ... handy things for storage)
1) Flowers
2) Veg

The go into the relevant box in when-to-sow month order.
They get taken out every so often, read, drooled over, returned to box (often at the back)
They get taken out every so often, read and re-filed in when-to-sow month order.
They get taken out, weeded of those I *though* I might grow but no longer will and those I'm keeping shoved back in the box.
They get taken out, every so often, read and re-filed in when-to-sow month order.

It is a system: of sorts

 

I store my seeds in two big cheek pouches
Actually, I have a nice wooden box in the depths of my garage.

 

Your so organise!!!! mine just get tossed into an old Bold clothes washing capsule box... I like rummaging through them..... buddleia seeds are at the top though first job!

 

Haven't you done those yet Lol

 

@Anthony Rogers NO !!!!! not had time ......been sooooo busy with roses and digging up roots.... the pain of my life at the moment.....

 

Your poor Roses, how are they standing up if you've dug their roots out.
I hope you haven't glued them in the ground !

 

.... your so funny!!.......... no...... I've been planting new roses silly billy! its just when ever I want to do something new..... it takes me 2 to 3 days to dig all the roots out, I'm getting to the stage that I hate the thought of starting something new as I know what's going to happen.....digging more roots out..

 

What are the roots to ? Couldn't you use a spot weedkiller and get rid if them all in one go?
