Now is the time to store your seeds: tomato, cucumber, squash and any other plant you grew this season. Egg shells make good seed saving pots. Simple make a hole in the bottom of half a shell, fill with potting soil, place you seed or seeds in the soil, and then place in an empty egg carton.
Next year when it is time for planting, squeeze the shell slightly to crack it and plant in your garden shell and all. Water, the roots will push through the cracks and the shell will decompose on it's own.
Happy gardening!

Eileen, I'm really confused here. Once I put the seeds in the half egg shells and put the egg shells back in the egg carton and store them for the winter, what do I do with them in the mean time? Don't they require any watering or anything over the winter?
I place seeds once dried in jars with dry milk powder. Always had great success.
