Not recipes or addresses...we found a better use for our little gray box. See what we got going on below the jump...

With all of the planting we've done lately, we were in dire need of some seed organization.

We alphabetize them by general terms and make sure to save any tags that come tied on to plants...makes life so much easier.

I thought it was going to be herbs, but not the kind you're talking about.

You can also do that with food/seasoning packets of the same or similar size and keep it in the kitchen so you never buy more than what you need (or forgot you had).

excellent. I just dropped my pile yesterday spilling the entirety of some mystery seed on the floor. I'm going to put it in my landlords planters as a little surprise.

I'm starting to think you need a gardening website spin-off.
That's not a complaint either.

I transfer the info from cards to a database that holds all the pertinent info about my plants. But I'm geeky that way.

You are so anal. What do you have against piles?

I keep my seeds in the fridge so my leftovers are still viable the next year.
