Don't want to brag or anything, but I think I have found a GREAT way to
save collected seeds. I read a post (somewhere) last night where a gal had
found a clear plastic compartmented tray at Harbor Freight, so I went there
and they have two sizes. The small has probably20 compartments and the
large had probably 40. She did not explain how she stored her seeds within
each of those compartments.
Now, here is the kicker. If you know anyone that is a testing diabetic, they
get those little testing strips in little plastic snap shut tight cannisters about
the size of the old kodak film. Those little cannisters fit almost exactly into
each compartment. I would estimate that the cannisters can hold 800 seeds.
So, now the seeds are secure, can be seen without opening the case and
the cases are stackable for those of you that have hundreds of varieties
saved. I already had been using the cannisters, but just had them sitting in
old ice-cube trays which the cat dumped out once already. I can't believe how
great this worked out and I can't find the thread so I can thank the poster.
