OK. So now I'm on the downward spiral into the 8th

circle

hell

do I just keep all these seeds in a cool dark dry place?

A place with as little temperature fluctuations as possible.

Bron, I'm guessing tomato seeds here. For a small number of seeds, if they're thoroughly dry, keeping them in a sealed container (jar) in the fridge is the way to go. You just need to remember to let the container come back to room temperature before opening. This saves unnecessary condensation on the seeds. A good alternative is a cool, dark, dry cupboard. Add a few grains of rice to help absorb any excess moisture. Tommy seeds last quite a long time - at least 5 years, probably more.
