Can't abide housework. This is a pic of the bed in the spare room (my den) Paul daren't venture in, his tidy mind can't cope. When I have put some of the seeds away, I shall photo the tidy boxes (hopefully today) where the seeds spend the winter. Not ideal as they are in a warm house, but needs must.
Everyone is so organised - I feel shameful
So here is an after. Seeds in drawers compartmented into quarters, each quarter a type, i.e. cucurbits, carrots brassicas, sweetcorn, alliums, etc. Within each quarter is chaos at the moment but started off in the early spring fairly structured. The drawers/boxes are plastic shoe protection boxes which slot together. Not airtight though.
I too have several spreadsheets! One for the seed store with varieties and sow by date, another for a record of what's been sown and when, transplanting date, 1st picked, verdict and sometimes planting distances. Must be Paul's influence rubbing off, he loves a spreadsheet. .
