I have a nice expensive collection of seeds from lots of breeders plus bag seeds from some of the strains I have grown in the past but not sure how to store them as I want to have them for years to come right now they are in the refrigerator should I move them to the freezer? if so how do you keep the frost from getting to them? what do you do?
where should I store my beans?

I've had seeds sitting in my cupboard for years and they were still viable.

I put my packs in Ziploc freezer bags, or the smaller sized Ziploc Sandwich size. I then put multiple-I put more than needed. Multiples. Silica Dry Packs, in the Ziploc baggies.
I then put the Ziplok baggies in Tupperware, and then, I stuff as many Silica Dry Packs as I deem necessary, in the Tupperware, and then put it in the fridge.
I also use the type of silica packs, that turn colors when they are full of water, and can be put into a microwave, or oven, and dried out, and reused. So, it is easy to identify if the silica has become ineffective.
Probably the best way would be to vacuum seal the packs, and put them in Ziplocs, with Silica Dessicant, and then put that into Mason Jars, with more dessicant, and then, in the fridge.
