Storing seeds

I'm sure this has been asked/answered before but I had no luck wading through the search results. :?

What's the best way to store my leftover seed for next year? Freezer?

Keep them cool and dry. I never refrigerate mine, but some gardeners do.

Put them in some envelops and then put them all in some type of air-tight container if you can (think mason jar). In whatever container their in, throw in some cornmeal or some silica gel packs to absorb the moisture in there.

If you want to prolong the storage life of the seeds, you can put them in the freezer, that should give you a much longer storage life.
