I think I'm in love.....
.....with my new seed saver box.

I have used various methods to save seeds over the years including lunch baggies categorized by vegetable/flower types, and I just sent back a large binder with photo pages because the seed packets wanted to slip out of those pesky sleaves.

After sending back the binder and photo sheets, this plastic storage box with 16 smaller 4" x 6" x 1" locking boxes was delivered within the past hour. Rainy day, I tore into it!

It comes with each of the 16 boxes wrapped in their own plastic bags. Great to keep them clean if not using them. Also includes a sheet of 44 stickers to use on the boxes...more than enough. Here are my tomatoes and peppers in boxes.

And here are the first two boxes with stickers. BTW, there are 10 packets of tomato seeds in that tomato box and a handful of pepper packets in the pepper boxes.

This will provide more than enough room for my seeds in a very organized way. My OCD thanks Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C8YSWDR/

I am going to store this in the basement where it is dark 99.9999% of the time and I have heat, AC, and a dehumidifier. If you look around one company offers a similar box that is black to keep the light out.

Remember light, heat, and moisture are no-no's when saving seeds. Notice those Rapunzel tomatoes on top are from 2017 and they were still germinating last year. Sure they would this year too if I planted them.
