What has been your experience with seed longevity?

Charles,
I always keep my pepper seeds in a fridge (at +3-5C), and had 90-100% germination on most of my 2007 varieties this spring. Proper cool storage helps, but the most important thing is to have viable seeds collected from fruits that are fully ripe and not spoiled.
