Store seeds in a cool, dark, dry place away from heat and humidity. An interior closet or climate-controlled pantry works well for everyday storage. Avoid garages, attics, and sheds where temperatures fluctuate.
Under proper storage conditions, many seeds remain viable for several years, although longevity varies by crop. For longer storage, keep packets inside an airtight container with a desiccant and refrigerate them. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
