Purchasing packets of seedsis one of the most inexpensive ways we gain a variety of flowers
and vegetables for our gardens, without the hefty
price tag. One simple tip for maintaining your “library of seeds” is to create a
system for filing the seed packets as you add to your collection. Start by taking an
old recipe card holder and re-tabbing the sections in one or two ways. Organize
by Season (fall, winter, spring, summer) – in this case you add the packets
of seeds in the section for when the seeds need to be planted. This also an easy and
nice reminder of when you need to get started, for which plants. Alternatively,
you can organize alphabetically – in which you would systemize your
packets based on the plants name. This can be helpful for our avid-gardening enthusiasts
who are already aware of the peak planting seasons, and are more interested
in identifying types of plants. We recommend using a plastic or metal recipe
box for their durability and air-tight features. Keep the seeds inside their
packets, as well add any additional planting tips or information you deem helpful to reference.
