There is more to this than what I thought.Found a great source of information though I though would be nice to share.
Planting and Seed Saving Instructions
It has directions for saving/harvesting most seeds.

I held over a large amount of hybrid seeds from spring plantings two years back and used them last year and again this spring to experiment a little, this years starter pots had about a 30% failure to germinate compared to the past two years, all in not to bad. I just use an ammo can and dessicant bags to store them.

There is a website for seeds that I have heard on my Sirius while driving around. Interesting.

It is survivalseedbank.com

There are a few previous threads on this if you do a search.

tip I learned just today, put your seeds in a jar of water, good seeds will sink to bottom, bad seeds float. Scoop off the bad seeds and dump out water and place goods seeds in place to dry. Haven't tried it, but just heard about it today.
