I keep mine in the fridge in a mason jar. I also add a handful of dry rice to the jar to act as a desiccant....can keep beans for years this way....

Lol

I keep all mine in a wine glass in my kitchen cupboard. No special care other than leaving them in their bags/breeders packs.




Not had an issue yet in 2 yrs.

another fridge/rice/tupperware storer, works fine
seeds seem to keep well in low humidity, i'd say humidity is a bigger deal than temps(to a point)

Been having seeds in a ziplock back in my office desk for 6 + years with no problems.

Ok but do the seeds still pop and grow a plant?

CBL must have a boatload of seeds! LOL

I do exactly the same, but smaller containers, like 35mm film cans.

Fridge is great, but not the freezer.
