My wife is into seeds. We went to the heirloom seed festival in Sonoma county a few years ago. I would like to do that again.

Radish seeds were always a challenge for me to keep more than a year UNTIL I started using a non-frost free freezer.

Just saying what I experienced.

Thanks Elk. I'm big into seed saving and growing heirlooms to find what works good in my area and that we like the taste and nutrition. Always trying new stuff. I'm growing a new bean, 2 new melons, and 2 new squash types this year.

Whatever works.

I vac seal and freeze.
I dry vac seal some in jars.
I dry seal some in vac bags.
I also freeze some in brown PAPER .

Depends on the seed, what method I use.
