I save these and their silica packs to store seeds, perfect!

Excellent! And the silica keeps them dry.

How do you label them?

oh, I use blue painter's tape....after I remove the original label. Most of the bottles are not clear plastic, but you can still see the seeds. Blue tape is easily written on and removable for the next year's seed.

That's another excellent idea! I've used regular labels but they're a bear to cleanly remove. Painter's tape! Never would have thought of that one.

This would be a great use for all those prescription pill containers that keep piling up. You could also use masking tape as a label.

Yes! Both the vitamin and the Rx bottles are made to keep light out. But I love the painters-tape idea because I've found that masking tape tends to degrade over time, and is close to impossible to clean off.

Maybe that's why painters tape was invented in the first place. I don't remember it being around in the 60s.

If you cut them into round slices and then cut through them, you can slip a slice over the bottom of a plant and bury it a little, it will protect from cut worms.

Hi @Alaskalady! Very nice to meet you here!

This is a great idea--can you please post it as a new idea in a separate thread?

Hope to see it soon.

to protect from cutworms, just put a 16 or 20 penny finish nail into the ground along the plant stem. Mr. cut worm cannot wrap around both the plant and the nail to cut down the plant

Hi, and !!!

This is such an excellent idea, it's a shame that you added it only as a comment to the pill-bottle idea. Can you please post it as a new, separate idea? That way, more people will see it.
