Can anyone please tell me the best way to store annual flower seeds from my garden for the following year sowing ?.

They are best in an airtight packet (once they have dried off) and then kept in a cool dry place. But most of them keep OK in little paper packets. You could keep these in lidded glass jar if you like. Some are very tolerant - many keep OK in our warm utility room...

I prefer to keep them in the fridge stored in glassine packets (which I have access to). Othewise small paper packets are OK.

I keep all my seeds in small paper envelopes in a plastic airtight container in the fridge too.

Small zip lock baggies are cheap on eBay; and you can get them with a white writing strip. I dry seeds for 24 -48 hrs before storing them in the fridge (Several have even made their way to Simbad's fridge ;)) I also put a small piece of paper towel in to help absorb moisture.
