KYGROWER

KENTUCKY

A couple of years ago I lost all my seeds. Well this week they turned up and were found. They have been sitting in a cool dry area all this time. I will be planting some of those finds next year. My question is: After this long, should I put them into frezer now, or just continue storing them the way they have been for last few years?

Thanks,

Mike

If they're rare & desirable genetics I'd get them in the freezer.

yes, some are rare (a few very rare) so anyone else suggest freezer now after this long?

I used to keep mine in the freezer, but Steve Daletas said that he has talked to seed vendors and they recommend keeping them in a refrigerator, and since Steve grows bigger pumpkins than I do, I went out and got a refrigerator for my seeds.
