My hardneck usually keeps from harvest to harvest too. As you mentioned,
keep in a dry, cool, DARK place.

The hardnecks only store for 3-4 months, from what I gather.
Eat 'em up and enjoy. I don't know how Filaree holds their seed stock
from one year to the next.

They don't, since they're planting not all that long after harvest.
Some hardneck varieties keep for me nearly until the next harvest in early
July. Cool (but not refrigerated), dry and well-ventilated is the trick.

I'll never complain about my winters in zone 5/4 again!
