Rick,
putting plastic bags in a glass jar is a great idea for a few bags. I have too many ziplock bags with seed to do it that way. I also use the prescription plastic container. My daughter and daughter-in-law saves them for me whenever they get them. Theky are great for a large number os seeds.

Instead of vermiculite to use a mideum to sow seeds in, I use fine peat moss. For dust-like seeds that require stratification, it works great in the fridge. Just dampen the peat moss and sprinkle the seed on surface. When germinated, just transfer some of the peatmoss to potting soil. I have germinated Delosperma cooperi (red iceplant) dust-like seeds on peat-moss.

The photo is seedlings of red iceplant after planted in potting soil. They germinated in peat moss. The other 2 are the finished product. They come true from seed since not a hybrid.
