Thanks for posting the list. Someone told me to store all of my seeds in the refrigerator but I'm not sure if it would hurt seeds that don't need stratification. What is the best way to store seeds? Thanks, I'm brand new to gardening and would hate to ruin all of the seeds I've been gathering.

I store my seeds in a plastic drawer at room temperature. But I'm a newbie. I just started gardening last year. You may want to start a topic on that subject and see what everyone says. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt the seeds to be kept in the refrigerator. I just don't think it is necessary.

There are however a few seeds that have to be used while they are fresh, such as coffee beans, and bird of paradise for example.
