Every year I try to come up with some way to organize my many packets of seed so that I can find what I want when I want it. Also hoping to organize them in such a way that I don't lose track and forget to sow something- like things that need an early start in one section, things to direct sow after frost in another, etc. It always ends up being a hassle in spite of my efforts. Last year I divvied them up into baggies, 1 for direct sowing, 1 for wintersowing, and 1 for indoor sowing. That worked so so, but there were still too many in each to find one thing easily. This year I've got flower and ornamental seeds in a plastic tray with a long compartment that allowed me to file them, so I've got them alphabetized. Veggie and herb seeds are in another plastic box, tomatoes, peppers, and cucerbits separated, but thats as far as I've gotten with them. I think I need to employ both alphabetizing and separating by starting time/method, but I'm having trouble coming up with suitable containers.
Please share what method you've come up with.
Thanks!
Neal
