You're in a tropical climate? You'll want to keep them someplace dry and cool. Humidity and warmth shorten a seedâÂÂs shelf life.

thanks. i have a friend that puts her seeds in the freezer will that harm the seeds??

Freezing can be damaging to some seeds, mostly tropical seeds and I don't know what you've purchased. Do you have refrigerator space? Most seeds are fine in the refrigerator (but again, there are some exceptions among some tropical seeds that may not do well stored below 50F and most refrigerators would be at least 10 degrees Fahrenheit lower than that). If you have purchased tropical seeds, do you have a desk drawer in an air conditioned room?

Are you planning to store for any length of time?

i have a vegetable seeds, flowers and a few palm seeds from my grandpa. i think i might start them next spring since where i live still gets a mild winter(but no frost or snow) should i just store them in my garage .its cool and dry

The vegetable and flower seeds would likely be fine in the refrigerator, or your garage if your overall humidity isn't too high. The palms may need to be looked at differently though - there are many kinds of palm and most don't store well under any condition, they lose viability if not sown as fresh as possible. I don't have a lot of experience with palms myself, those that are hardy here look a little silly among landscapes of conifers and rhododendrons :)

"With few exceptions, it is best to plant palm seed shortly after cleaning. If this is not possible, the best general storage procedure - cleaned and air-dried seed, seal the seed in plastic bags, and store at 65-75ðF. Seeds of most tropical palms will lose viability if stored at temperatures below 60ðF"

thanks so much!!!
