Ditto me....we're trying something new; "tub farming"...planted this stuff from seed (except for the patio tomatoes) on January 10 here in our desert.
Cool and dry is the ticket, sealed in a coffee can is good and either use the packets of ? that pull the moisture out or some use dry powdered milk, which could be contained in an old sock or a coffee filter, made into a packet.
I do freeze for a month, the seeds that I save from fruit and intend to plant.
You may never get fruit on the tree, but in the desert, any tree is a blessing, so I keep trying them.
LOL, so ok, I admit it, I like planting seeds and seeing something grow from them.
As for the packet of drying material, that is another use for diatomaceous earth! I just stopped the wife from throwing away a coffee can yesterday. Now I have a use for it. Thanks.

Of course the old stand-by is the Ball Blue Book - but if someone buys one on eBay, they need to be sure it is the current edition.
It sure is hard to keep up... First we can make cake in a jar and bread - then nope - not safe then we can do puree of squash and pumpkin, then oops somebody might not pack it hot enough and so now we shouldn't do it.
