| I have leftover seeds from this year's purchase. Tomatoes, peppers and squash. I also happen to have one of those FoodSaver vacuum appliances at home....so was curious if storing the seeds in a vacuum would help them remain viable longer? Would that be a good way to store them? Or could it cause any issues?
Thanks,

| I have leftover seeds still in their commercial packages that I have kept in the freezer for several years. I used a pack earlier this year that I had stored in my freezer for over 3 years germination was extremely good. In other words I dont do anything special to wrap them just close the package by folding it and put it in a walmart sack and put it in my freezer door along with other seed packs. |
