Hi Kate, this was the video I needed to see as my seed collection needs to be organized, big time. I love the look of the shades of aqua/turq of those boxes so sign me up.
So glad I watched today! I have so many seeds and I’ve been quite frustrated as to how to organize them. I bought one of those seed organizer cases on Amazon- it has 60 little screw top bottles and within no time I realized it wasn’t going to work. Your new system is something I am going to try. Also, I had pondered doing a spreadsheet too but hadn’t decided on how to organize it- yours is great! Thanks so much! I’m afraid I’ve bitten off more than I can chew this year- I ordered way too many seeds!
Ordering too many seeds seems to be a theme with us gardeners. 🤣 let me know how it works out for you! I secretly loved my little shoe box but it just wasn’t a long term solution.
I know… and I sometimes forget what I have if I don’t take a moment to be with them! I have a big goal of planting at least half of this box. We will see what happens!
I have used the photo boxes for my seeds for the past several years. I love them. I can take out just the boxes with the seeds I need for each project and they are protected from the elements. As a master gardener, I need to take seeds to the demo garden I volunteer at and it is so convenient. I already have 2 boxes, 1 for flowers, 1 for veggies but I need to get another as I am outgrowing my space.
This is so good to hear. My cut flower garden is in the lower yard and I’m basically going down three flights of stairs to get there. I need quick and easy!
I use this same organizer for my seeds also. I then use a dymo label maker and label the front of each box so I now what I have. I really try my hardest to use what seeds I have, but I think I’ll have to pick up a second organizer this season for my left over seeds. I’m really trying to use up what I have but it’s hard 😂
Hi Kate 🌺 . You arranged the seeds beautifully in the boxes . I lovet . Write in google winter gardening : organizing seeds and the bicture of it maybe it looks like your box also the color . Have a wonderful day .🌷🌺🌷
Thank you Kate for sharing your seed collection and organization! Lol 😂 I thought that sign said the same thing, must be my 49 yr old eyes or bad stigmatization. 😊 I’ve got the same organization boxes, I had trouble with the thicker packages and gave up on the tubes but I’ll give it a try how you turned them on their side. I used sticker labels which works really well. However, I’ve got an art brain so I struggle with putting things back. lol. Or just lazy brain. 😊I would love to see how you put containers together for clients. Is that something ya might be able to show when the season starts?
Oh I am SO glad I wasn’t the only one who read that sign wrong. 🤣 I actually thought of having a dump zone for seeds and then putting them all back once or twice per week but I think it’s a recipe for disaster. And I am ABSOLUTELY going to show you container design! I’m doing my pots this week and that video will be out Friday. 💕
Ooo! Requesting a tour of your excel spreadsheets for garden organization & design please! ☺️ I’m with you re voting with your dollars! I had the same thought process when I ultimately decided to purchase some seeds from Floret this year; zinnias and dahlias for me.
Oh that’s so good to hear! I’m the type of person that just needs to try a few methods to see what works well for me so I’m looking forward to seeing how this goes!
I'm so glad you are sharing your expertise in these videos. I'm always trying to organize my seeds. This looks very doable and practical. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Running my own business, UA-cam and three kids means I don’t have time for anything that isn’t doable and practical. So I’m always glad to share!
Thanks for showing us the best way to preserve seeds.For me I buy and collect variety of seeds but I don’t find them at the right time of sowing Now for sure I’ll save my seeds in an organise way. Thanks Kate
Loved this video. That green seed saver box was sold by burpee many, many years ago. lol, ask me how I know! Other than pots do you have any plans for metal raised beds? I have wooden one that are 10 years old and falling apart. Being 75 this year (in age ) I don’t know if I could handle putting one together myself. Love your new channel! You are very comfortable in front of the camera!❤❤
You are a GENIUS!!!!!! I’m going to start searching to see if I can find one. Mine has a crack in the top and I have fingers crossed that it doesn’t grow. And I have gardened in SO many different ways. In-ground, wood, ceramic pots and even several types of metal! I love growing in metal. Maybe I need to do a full review of different bed types. I used a kid from Gardener’s supply about 13 years ago and was so sad to leave it when I moved. I’ve used stock tanks as well. Both are awesome!
I enjoyed watching this. I also collect seeds and have many more than you. I do use the same organizers because I store them in my basement, and seeds stay viable. Quartet stock are branching and bloom for a long time. Territorial and Baker Creek have many varieties, and mine are under lights looking strong. Happy gardening!
Ooooo… I am going to look for that! I am so behind in seed starting. That’s the one downside of doing the show. I’m focused 💯 on it right during prime seed starting time.
I just used a chalk marker that I picked up at a craft store. It’s already smudged a bit but I’m not worried. I’m going to use it for a bit and then use my p-touch label maker to make waterproof labels for it.
I have my seeds organized in those same holders but mine are all clear. I have one for flowers & perennials then a separate one for veggies and herbs. I have had mine for 2 years and I just love them.
Did you ever acquire a Roger's Seed Saver box? Just curious. I have so many seeds (I'm filthy rich-in seeds) that I had to go this same route. At first I had them all alphabetized and it took four cases. I tried something new last year and it almost broke my brain but I organized each case by time of seeding: BLF (before last frost), ALF (after last frost), BFF (before first frost), and then a few special boxes aimed at holidays. For example, today is Juneteenth, and my seed calendar reminded me to sow Buckwheat today. I regularly question my decision to organize by time of seeding because most people organize via alpha, but I found myself missing so many start dates and decided to try this method instead. I'm almost done with the reorganization of my backyard infrastructure, which has caused me to miss several planting time frames so I will need another full year to see if I should go back to alpha. Yes, I'm a supreme garden nerd and love that my life is consumed in this manner.

I’m a sucker for ombré 🤣
I just purchased the same organizer. So far so good.
Where did you find?

So many beautiful seeds 🥰 I need to sort mine out 😊

The temptation is REAL. I’m so glad it’s working for you! I’m cautiously optimistic. I may have to do a little 1 year review.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I love starting from seed so it was fun to share. Have a beautiful day!

Ooooo… good idea! I popped it up on the screen during my dynamic garden seminar but I could absolutely go over it in further detail!
Love Territorial! I have there covers pinned up on my garage wall. 🫢
They’re so good!!! I’m a total seed addict. I have to work very hard to limit my purchases. 😆
So fun! I use the same organizer for my flower seed collection! Yes!!!

You are welcome! 🌱
That’s great ,what kind of pen did you use
I just used a chalk marker that I picked up at a craft store. It’s already smudged a bit but I’m not worried. I’m going to use it for a bit and then use my p-touch label maker to make waterproof labels for it.
Look for a CD holder oops I think you did lol
Good morning from New York. My seeds are a mess as well.
I have my seeds organized in those same holders but mine are all clear. I have one for flowers & perennials then a separate one for veggies and herbs. I have had mine for 2 years and I just love them.
Phew! So glad I’m not alone. 😆
