What is the recommended method for storing seed? Freezer seems too harsh. Just a cool, dry place?

Cool and dry is the ticket, sealed in a coffee can is good and either use the packets of ? that pull the moisture out or some use dry powdered milk, which could be contained in an old sock or a coffee filter, made into a packet.

I do freeze for a month, the seeds that I save from fruit and intend to plant.

You may never get fruit on the tree, but in the desert, any tree is a blessing, so I keep trying them.

LOL, so ok, I admit it, I like planting seeds and seeing something grow from them.
