I have recently developed an interest in planting and have planted a few plants from seed. I still have some seeds left and am not sure how I should store them. Does it matter what kind of seed it is or are they all stored the same?

Most seeds would want the same storage conditions--somewhere cool, dark, and dry. Some seeds can be stored for years and still be viable, but there are some that are best sowed when they're a lot fresher, so depending on what your seeds are from you may have better luck with storing some than others.

I keep mine in plastic sandwich baggies in the fridge.

Thanks to both of you! So I'll store in a cool dry place, like in sandwich bags in the fridge.
