put them into a small container with rice, and place in your refrigerator ... don't freeze ... it's not that freezing will hurt them, but if not 100% dry, they will freeze and burst ... fridge can keep them like that for years ... keep in mind, viability does slowly creep down after the first year ... 20-year old seeds have germinated, but unreliably, and slowly ... :smokin:

Ok, so if i refrigerate them, i am looking at a year for best results and they will slowly deteriorat afterwards. thnkx alot

How about small vacuum sealed jars painted black and stored in a dry dark place?

yea that sounds like a good idea, except i am a poor college students and cant afford air tight jars and black paint, but thanks alot for an idea down the road
