LOL! Chilko, that's a hoot! Getting rid of the hot air would do the job, but it might take a while! If you think of the seeds as being in a file cabinet, the little individual baggies are the documents are in folders (gallon bags), and those folders are in bigger folders (2.5 gal. bags). As you can see, I have lots of seeds. It goes like this:

Week 15 (Feb 12, 2005) 2.5 gal ziplock Bag
Inside is a gallon bag marked Petunia
Inside the gallon Petunia bag are:
Celebrity Blue Petunia
Old Fashioned Vining Petunia, Etc.

To save time, I've also copied info off the Tom Clothier site relating to germination requirements such as how deep to plant, light needs, temp needs, stratification, etc. Since most all petunias would be the same, a slip of paper in the bag would suffice. This is especially helpful when you are getting seeds in trade and no germination info is available on the packages.
