They are getting harder to find, but those black film cannisters make great seed savers too. Swing by a photo shop and just ask for some. The dark cannister makes a great protector from light. If you are super crafty, you could keep your seeds organized in a wooden rack, with the cannister tops nailed on all in a row, cute labels applied. Oooh, what about using an old rolling pin (or even a paper towel tube covered in some cute paper or fabric and stiffened a bit), nailing (or gluing) the lids on like spokes to a wheel, and either hanging it or using a towel holder ... spinning seed saver... Hmm. I like that better than my "seed bag" which I'm always digging through. I could organize the rows by which ones I plant first through the season, then give it a turn as time passes....
We make a difference. |

Diana, I don't have a book, but am wondering about the very same thing. I'm bunching my zinnia's and hanging upside down in my shed, from what I understand, you need to keep them in a cool, dry place. I had hollyhock seeds given to me last year, and they were stored in a ziplock bag, and kept in a kitchen drawer, they did great this year!! We were in your little town this week, in fact stayed at the Best Western, what a very beautiful part of Idaho!! Couldn't remember if you were in Peck, or Orofino. That Clearwater River is the most beautiful I think I've seen!!
live, laugh, love |
