Seed Packets...what works? Sources?

BackyardFarm · September 13, 2015

It's mid-september and I FINALLY have enough ripening tomatoes to save saving seeds.

The question I have is, how do I store them afterwards? I bought a package of pill baggies at the local dollar store yesterday (50ct for 67 cents on clearence!) but I have a feeling that won't last super long if I want to participate in any swaps.

So, where do you all get seed packets? Mini plastic bags? Coin envelopes? Make them yourselves? Is there a difference between paper and plastic for shelf life?
