Hello everyone...

I am just wondering. I started collecting seeds a while ago.
As these have their own rhythm to ripe and dry, I am wondering how I can store these for long term.
Sometimes when I trade, the other person is writing "kept in freezer, good viability" or something.

Can ALL seeds be stored in the FREEZER, where it freezes?
Do any seeds suffer from being frozen?

OR just in the FRIDGE is enough?

And another thing... air-tight??? container...hmmm. i don't think I have any air-tight container. What container would be suited for such use?

I'd like to keep some seeds until I sow them or trade them, sometimes till next spring.

I used to keep them in newspapers, napkins, paper towels and then all in a shoe box and kept in a closet in my living room - but I am thinking this is not exactly right...
