How is my setup looking so far? One side for forbs, one for graminoids. Then I’ll get another box for woody species and aquatics/random. How do you save your seeds?
I use separate containers or bags; this seems inevitable to result in things moving around.

Looks great and will work great as long as every species has its own bag/envelope/packet for its slot!

Cool but you probably need smaller sealed containers for many species with small seeds.

Mine go in seed packets, paper bags, or various repurposed containers, eventually in a box in the basement after a summer on the piano or junk drawer or random pocket. 😆
One flower grower I follow on social media had a horrible experience last year where mice got to her seeds- all in cardboard boxes and seed packets. It’s a good idea to use hard plastic if you store in a garage or shed.

I use ziplock bags into a box in the refrigerator

Totally get that! I started labeling my bags, but they still shuffle around. Gotta find a better system.

That’s a solid strategy! I’ve been using labeled envelopes for easy access and organization. Works great…
