Organizing Seed Packets

This is how my seed packets were organized:

I realize that this is unacceptable, but had not been able to come up with a better solution. Then I remembered the bamboo box that my flowering teas were packaged in and realized that it would make the perfect seed organizer.

I sorted the seeds in rows of opened vegetable packets, flowers, and closed vegetable packets. I put them in the order I am planning on using them, rather than something that would make sense to others like alphabetically.
After filing my seed packets, I put away the pens, tools, and hair bows that were also stashed in the bowls and gave them a good scrubbing. Behold, clean, empty bowls; ready for entertaining!

So how do you organize your seed packets or other garden supplies?

    I should do something like that as mine just hang around in an old ice-cream container. I planted some this year and no show. I think they were too old.
    Cheers

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
