I would make sure there real dry before you freeze them like 2 months old.Better safe than sorry.

The seeds that I harvested this year were dried for 3 weeks and put into brown paper lunch bag sacks and placed in my basement where its extra dry year round and stays a constant 70 degrees. Hope this helps!! Erik

from reading post's lately, I think the drying process is more important than the storage system!!!! Make sure they are DRY, b/4 packaging, esp in sealed plastic!!! Peace, Wayne
PS..HHP, have read several times that refrigerated is not a good idea....too much moisture in the frige, pick one...freeze, or cool, dry, dark!!!
