Question on seeds ...

Just wondering, because I've heard or read it somewhere, but if you keep seeds in an air-tight container and in the fridge, about how long will they stay good for?

I'm just thinking about ordering some Purple Power seeds, and as I'm currently in my dorm for awhile, I was wondering how long I could theoretically hold onto them without them going bad on me. If nothing else, I could just get some when I move out, but it seems like such a long time, and I just want these seeds badly. Any info, lemme know.

Thanks in advance everyone.

u wanna wrap them up in toilet paper or something first cos it will absorb any moisture in the air tight container. u can put them in the fridge...they are meant to last longer in the freezer tho....although....direct frost will kill them

good luck

You dont store seeds in the freezer. All you need is an airtight container kept in a cool dark place, and seeds can stay viable for up to 2 years.

they last longer if u store them in a freezer

Yes Chonged thats true but what i said was also true. And the thing about freezing is that:

"Vacuum packing with dessicant and room temperature storage is best for access without the thaw and re-freezing that kills them. The problem with using the refrigerator for any period of time is the excessive amount of moisture constantly present. Each time the door is opened, moisture condenses on items inside, for which the dessicant is an inadequate deterrent for molds."
