Storing garden seeds for future years is always a good idea but is sometimes difficult for a few reasons.
1. Seeds can not be too wet or too dry when put into storage.
2. Seeds need to be kept cool and dry once they are put into storage. Do not keep seeds in the freezer.
3. Seeds need rotated every few years, seeds will not maintain a good germination rate indefinitely.
4. You need good varieties of vegetable seeds.
5. You need a good selection of vegetables.
6. Some seeds will not store and germinate as well as others.


If you want to package your own seeds for storage be sure that you do not pack them in Nitrogen and do not use an oxygen eliminating packet in the container. Its hard to believe but seeds need and use oxygen to stay alive, the lack of oxygen will kill the seed.
The Mountain Valley Seed Company in Salt Lake City packages especially selected and specially dried seeds in air tight cans and pouches. These seeds should store up to 4 years and still maintain good germination.
