Best way to store agretti seeds?

[earlypea]

I've tried over the years about three times to hatch agretti with minimal success.

So - this year I pre-ordered a big quantity of fresh seed from Seeds of Italy with the intention of having a proper bash at it next year.

I was thinking it would turn up in spring but it's arrived already.  Anyone who has had good success in getting it to germinate and stored it over the winter, what did you do?

The only agretti seed storing specific reference I can find says store it at 50-60 degrees - don't put it in the fridge.  But, I think mine were kept at room temperature last time and only one germinated.

Like I say, anyone with any success - what's the preferred storage method?

Cheers

After I had no germination, my replacement packet arrived (also SOI) and I just put it in the filing cabinet with the other seeds, not near direct sunlight and neither close to a radiator.  In spring germination was good, no issue.  I didn't do anything special.

Thanks a lot Galina.  Looks like it's the bedroom drawer then 

Anyway, this batch has a lovely fresh, herbal/grassy aroma to it which the seeds before were lacking so I'm imagining success.

If not, I'll be back to them like you suggest.
