Went to my mini fridge to get out some daylily seeds to plant only to discover that many had already sprouted in their bags and had begun to decay. I keep my seeds in little plastic baggies so when this happens it is confined to the individual bags and then those bags are collected and put in a plastic lunch bag , but for the life of me I cant figure out why it happens to some seeds and not others.

I treat them all the same way at harvest. Each pod is kept separate and seeds removed are allowed to dry for a week before being bagged up . It has happened before so now I tried putting little pieces of paper towel in each baggie hoping to avoid this but actually seems the ones with the paper towel are the worst offenders .

How do others avoid this? Please help , I end up tossing so many baggies of seeds due to this . What a waste!
