How where do you?

[shirlton]

I used to keep mine in a shoe box but last year I got meself a nice siver metal CD box.I have put the seeds in alphabetical order to save me scratting through all of them. The large packets still have a home in the shoe box though

You are all SO inspirational!  Think I must go tidy my seed shoeboxes now.
I did make file dividers for them last year labeled for each type veg. which helped the chaos but haven't done a computerized database! :o So impressive you are!

You are all SO inspirational!  haven't done a computerized database!

I have done a spreadsheet over this past month. Probably spent about 12 hours on it.  But that was because I researched every variety of veg seed I intend to sow from next year as have made some changes and some additions.  Now it is done it will only take 2 minutes here and there to keep on top of it.

I have a six "shoebox" affair from IKEA and still have a whole set of pea and bean jars....  ::)

Wow i really fancy the metal cd box, Shirl!

For storeable veg seeds - in the freezer in a sealed container with a sache of silica Gel.
Job done!

and lots of beans and peas in jars

Wow what a great response to this  :)
And great ideas .
I am also someone who keeps theres in a sealed container in the fridge
and wondered if the was a reason for you should not do this but I see I am not the only person doing it so I guess not .
Thanks for replies all  :) :)

I have done a spreadsheet over this past month.

I haven't done mine yet but for those who are interested I do it this way.

As you have seen previously all my seeds are in biscuit boxes plus I am awaiting my 2009 order coming before I do my spread sheet.

Firstly I take the seeds out of their biscuit tin and list them Genus/Variety in columns 1 & 2 on my website.

At this stage I list them as they come then I go into 'tools' and 'sort' them, so this puts my list in alphabetical order.

Then I go into my website which is listed in alphabetical order and note the sowing date and any particular things such as covering or not covering the seed as the case may be.

Once I have done this I go into tool again and do a 'sort' but this time I sort the sowing dates i.e. earliest sowing date first.

Then it is a simple matter of placing my seed packets back in the tin in sowing order ready for the time they are needed.

I find this system suits my 'senility' to a 'T' now that the old grey matter is losing its viscosity  ::)

It's great having folks like you TeeGee who do all the hard work for us. Cheers

mine are in a hold all in zip log bags  ;D  (its one that's to big for hand lugage :o )but I need another one as they don't all fit any more :-[ (slowly slinks off to SAA  ::) ::) ::) )

[Ninnyscrops.]

Lots on here probably have seen my seed saving trays - so only posting cos some might not have  :)

Old CD sleeves are for the saved seeds (apart from loads of marigold seeds that won't fit)

Anyone looking for companion planting seeds welcome to pm me :-D
