Seeds are happiest when they are stored in a cool, dark, and dry place. A dark closet in a cooler part of the house or a dry, cool basement are both good spaces to store seeds for a year or two.

Once properly dried, seeds can also be sealed in airtight containers and stored in the refrigerator or freezer for several years. The seeds of some crops are naturally longer lived.

Tomato seeds and beans can be left for many years in adequate storage conditions, while onion and carrot seeds are notoriously short lived.

Don’t forget to label your seeds with the crop type, variety name, and any useful notes about your seed source, when you harvested the seeds, and how many plants you harvested from.

My quick and dirty method:

I use 2 paper plates. Put the seeds I want to save on one plate and write the name on the plate edge. Poke some holes in the other plate and put it on top of the other - use a couple of clothes pins to lock them together.

Place them on top of the refrigerator. Leave for about 3 weeks to dry out. When dry, place in old medicine bottles or other such as aspirin. Put duct tape on it and label it.
Put into metal coffee can with lid and label can with the year. Stick on unheated shelf in basement.
