This is the perfect time to stock up on next years seeds.
I put mine in a plastic shoe box, label it, and add a strap of duct tape around the edge of the lid to ensure a better seal.
I have kept seeds this way for the past few years and found to to hold their viability well. Even onions seed that are not suppose to store well longer than a year really do if they are frozen.
In fact, I think most of the seeds germinate better with Stratifying.
(freezing seeds for a period of time before attempting germination)
New this year at
Home Depot are Organic,

They are Heirloom and Open Pollinated.
This makes them great for home seed saving.
And that provides you $$$ savings.
