Dennis, I had this same problem but not from storing seeds, it was what I used to float my Amaryllids :) NOW I buy plastic clear cups.

With seeds being harvested from so many different plants both indoors and outdoors... I run out of bowls. I just went to get some salsa for my chips, and there were no clean bowls for my salsa! Yet my countertops are cluttered with bowls filled with all sorts of seeds... Echinacea... Iris... Silphium... you name it. LOL. I can see that I am down to just two bowls NOT being used for seeds. But they were both dirty from meals earlier in the day. Sigh. I need a better system for storing my seeds.... Dennis in Cincinnati
