I have four photo boxes (plastic kind), each with 16 of the 4x6” containers inside for my veggie seeds.

My flower seeds take up two more boxes.

I’m very much into heirloom seeds, to the point that I may have a slight seed saving problem. But I got nothing on these guys.

They are doing great work.
