I had to upgrade my seed storage method after all you guys twisted my arm and forced me to dib a bunch of seeds! Rolling on the floor laughing

I got myself a plastic hanging file folder box: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw...

Put in the hanging files and drop in seed packets according to whatever organization you want!

I have a cute little cardboard florist's box and a little plastic recipe/coupon expanding accordion folder organizer thing I use when I have seeds I want to plant. Pluck em out, pop them in the box or coupon thing, plant, if there's leftovers, return to box.

Before this, I used a photo/craft container that was boxes in boxes and shoved related things together. I still use that actually, since I haven't transferred everything to the new system. So I have a small box for herbs, sunflower seeds, nasturtium, etc. I got it here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw...

Great thing about that little system is being able to pop in a desiccant pack in each small box if you haven't crammed it full of seeds, and you can work with just one category at a time neatly. I kind of miss it as my main thing but it's just not big enough anymore! Maybe I'll say F it and just get like three more of those bahaha.

Also I think I read someone saying something about static and small seeds. I got these for that: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw...

A few of you should go in together to split an order of those, as it's A TON of bags, I think like four bags of 250 each? (Edit: Just checked mine, it's 10 bags of 100.) I still wrap my tiny seeds in a little bit of baking parchment before I put them in the bag but it helps guarantee that even if they slip out of the parchment you'll still be able to get them out. (Apologies to the one poor soul that got my white throatwort I packed before my order arrived! That's gonna be a bear, so sorry, haha!) If I were still in the swap I'd add a bunch of the bags for you guys! I have a lifetime supply! Big Grin
