organizing seeds

my seed catalogs, box of seeds, and seed list

when i empty a packet of seeds, i cross it off my list. when i order new seeds, i write them on that list. then i can see at a glance what i need to order each spring. i list the plant, the variety, the year the seeds were packed (date on the packet), and the company the seeds came from. that way i can get rid of the old seeds too. some seeds stay good for longer than others. onions seeds in particular dont germinate well after the first year or two.

i redid my seed box so instead of going from front to back in one long row, its divided sideways into three short rows.
