Last fall after I put my garden to bed for the year, I decided to organize my seeds. I have lots of seeds, some I bought and many others that I saved from my own plants. I am always getting confused as to what I have vs. what I need, so I really needed to straighten this mess out!
Especially since I love to try new varieties each year, and sometimes I will find I already bought the new seeds I wanted...but forgot because everything is a jumbled mess! *sigh*
My usual method had the seed packets in small individual bins. I always separated them into 3 categories: flowers, herbs and edibles. I've always used a 'seed wallet' when I go out into the garden to plant. While this worked when I had a small garden, with my recent expansions...I needed more organization.
I bought one of those photo boxes from the craft store, which works really well for seed packets. It holds a lot of store bought packets! They sell them at craft stores like Michael's and come in lots of pretty colors and patterns. I do like when my storage looks good, don't you?
I decided to try the photo album idea that was so popular last spring. Now I have 2 types of organization going on and I think it's going to work better than ever!
