Organize those seed packets

If you're like most folks, your seed packages end up in a shoebox, or bound together with a rubber band, and you have to dig through them hoping to find what you know is there when planting time comes. Over on vegetablegardener.com, Greg Holdsworth provides step-by-step directions for an organized storage system:

Wow Douglas, this is an awesome little storage container. I love that it's made from foam core. I figured it was painted balsa wood. Foam core makes it doable for a non-woodworker too.
I'm terrible about not planting seeds so I'm tickled pink for the seed viability chart. I had no clue there was a such a thing. Thank you so much!
P.S. This is such an awesome post it's being clipped twice to Organized Home and Gardening.
