A brief note on seed storage if you aren't planting right away.
The key for seed storage is cool, dark, and dry. If your temperatures are not quite right for planting, you can keep the seeds viable by keeping them in a food grade plastic bag. The bag should then be sealed in a mason jar and covered with a paper bag to block the light. A basement would be an ideal storage area, or alternatively a refrigerator (this is a must for poppies), until you're ready to plant. This can be done with most types of seeds, and will keep them viable for 1 to 5 years, depending on the species.
