no, the fridge has too high of a humidity. a cool, dry, dark place will keep them poppin' fresh for longer. i've heard you can also freeze them, but i wouldn't suggest it.

You don't want them in the fridge or other high humidity place as they'll start to condense moisture and get slimy...not good.

I have a strain that the seeds are over 5 years old...and just popped some to see if they'd grow. Very lucky for me as the strain is extinct now. :)

i use these little stone jars i picked up at a mall somewhere in this middle eastern store..
they were only like 7 bux a piece, no where near as expensive as the ones here, but the same thing, works awesome....

I have stored seeds in fridge for a long time. ( i know , i know )
But, they are in a snap lock, in side a air tight tupperware and inside the vegetable crisper. As that is how I have stored veggy seeds for years, old habits die hard I suppose.
I have had seeds for yrs that still germ quickly !

I freeze mine and only take them out long enough to get what I want to plant. I also do the same with my garden vegetable seeds. I freeze them in their packets.
I have never had any issues doing that, and I hear vegetable seed producers freeze their seeds in between seasons.

I agree that a fridge would have too much humidity.
