I rarely dry out seeds. I cannot afford to leave them out or the cats find them. Mainly because I am getting vaguer about making sure things are shut.
I put them straight into the crisper in zip bags. Even in plastic they dry out over the months and become light weight and crinkled. I plant seed over a year old.
I rarely get mould and most of the seed is fine. This may be luck, however.
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
