    I tidy my seed box out at the start of every season . Possibly keep two or three seed packets which will cover two years sowing. As a lot of folk on here I buy 50% of my seeds on eBay , some of the small quantity 10 seeds or 20 seeds are delivered in really tiny ziplock bags . You need to be organized or it is so easy for them to "hide" just when you need them.

            Mine are in a carrier bag sadly. But I'm working on it - in mitigation, major building work is starting in the house in May, so I'm in a bit of a muddle just now :gaah:

                Good luck Lynda and bon courage!
                My box has survived the move to France and a house move since, so some must be 10 years old +
                Only a few though.... ;)
                So I think your looks very neat Capney :lolpt:

                  Three x 20 litre stack & store boxes stuffed with seeds, which is why I need to list them all in a spreadsheet to keep track of them all:
