    A lot of hardy perennials do well sown fresh, ie as soon as they're ripe. Some need a winter chill so they're sown outside or in a cold GH or cold frame. Some can be saved and sown in spring

    There's a lot of info on this site about what needs which treatment, though not all seeds are on there.

    A while back I got some old fashioned wage packet envelopes; great for seed storageimage

    They look good envelopes nut. Ok using a normal paper envelope,inside would be the folded envelope that has the seeds currently in it.How about wrapping that envelope in tissue paper to cushion the seeds.You can probably guess I've never sent seeds through the post before :-P

    Its really easy to make a little square envelope, the pound shop sells rolls of brown paper which is fab for this, i spose you could add kitchen roll, but i wouldnt think most seeds would need it image
