Do you have any post on how to save seeds? I'd be very interested in something like that If you have talked about that in your blog, please let me know! To this day I am still wondering how this is done! Oh and by the way, nice stash ;D

Wow, you have so many seeds! I bet planting them will be a lot of fun. There is nothing more exciting than starting new plants and watching them grow

Whoo whee..You will have a big wonderful garden this coming summer and that is a lot of seeds. I do collect some seeds from my own garden, but I only have five variety of flowers, which I plan on growing at my new home, and some herbs.

Oh, what a terrific collection of seeds you have there! Your garden will be huge! I always have such great fun adding to my own stockpile of seeds. Most of mine are purchased at the local hardware store, but I also save some of my own, especially peas, from year to year. I put the packages in plastic jars and store them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. I wonder if you will be planting all of your seeds this season, or if you ever save any over for next season like I do?
