    yeah that should work long as the seeds are below freezing so they wont try to grow or decay

    Storing seeds I a freezer kills the seeds I dunno what these guys are talking about.... Anyways get a
    Lil black film canister put a some rice in it, toss your seeds in and put the cap back on and store At room temperature or u can store in the freezer and kill em... The choice is yours...

    you can store seeds in a freezer. theres seed banks all around the world that save seeds up to 5 years in the freezer.

    I personally keep mine in a paper coin envelope (the paper will wick any moister away from them) and keep them stored in a 68 dry basement.

    Yeah I don't know about the freezer either. I actually highly advise against that.
    Freezing seeds risks damaging the cellular construct of the seed as moisture inside the seed expands as the ice expands. I am not saying that freezing seeds will kill them but it will lower germination rates of most seeds.

    I have never nor will I ever freeze seeds, I store mine using the method described above and have germed seeds that were 3 years old.

    That uncooked rice, will absorb moisture.

    Keep them cool, dark and dry, put them somewhere undisturbed like the refrigerator or back of a closet, and they will last years.

    yeah there are risk of them not germinating fast as they would before but if you dont freeze them they can last up to a year or 6 months
