Seed Storage Chart

Have you ever wondered about your options when it comes to saving or storing your seeds..? 
Well fear not, we've provided a basic seed storage chart to help you.
It's important to store your seeds using the correct method, ideally in a cool, dark place as the moisture content within the seed has an impact on the rates of germination. Seeds should be stored in their original packaging as this helps the moisture content stay relatively stable.
