I store my seeds in my fridge between +4 to +8. I keep them in their orginal package wrapped in plastic foil and then sealed in a ziplock bag.

Ok I keep mine In original packaging or seed pods inside zip lock bags and then in a small cardboard box in my closet...

I have never looked into keeping beans for a while but I have more than I can run in 2 years.. what are some common ways to make sure they are good 2 years from now?

Great thread @Rebel

I keep mine in their original packaging in a glass jar in the fridge ... I also have several inches of instant rice in the bottom of the jar for moisture control ... should be good for several years ...

Rice is a good idea! How about some silica -based cat litter? That might be even better?

Yes I've used rice for storage and when mailing them as well.. I used to keep them in the fridge but for long term I've moved them all to the freezer... I've had 3 year old seeds germ right out of the freezer...

In a safe room temp. I'd say 90% germ rates. I try to avoid freezing pollen or seeds unless I know for a fact it won't be used for a very long time.

Salad compartment, bottom of fridge, in a tuppaware box, in baggies(most with labels, the others are my PR F1s and F2s). They seem to do alright, when required! I don`t freeze seeds cos my Freezers aren`t that reliable and my beans seem to like the fridge.
