Hey, do all seeds need to be dried before storage? Or is it good enough to let the seeds dry on the plant?
I tried collecting seeds from my marigolds for the first time last year and nothing grew this year. I stored them in a ziploc bag.
If there was any moisture at all and you zipped them up then they could have molded. They should be very, very dry before sealing them away.

I place mine in the little paper packets in a glass jar without the lid. I do put some in there that are not completely dry, but I figure with the amount of air available, they'll be fine. A Ziploc baggie is different as it don't have anything to allow them to breath.
