Store Well: Moisture, Temperature, & Light
To keep seeds from prematurely germinating they need to be stored effectively.

Moisture is an enemy to long-term seed storage. Make sure all seeds are properly dried and placed in moisture-proof packaging.
Seeds need to be kept at a constant temperature just above freezing (40-45 degrees). However, if the seeds are fully dried they can be kept at freezing temperatures.
Light exposure should be zero to minimum. It is best if the packaging is light-proof and placed in a dark area.
