Question

Answer 1

There may be some seeds that can survive freezing, but my bet is that you've made them inviable by freezing them.

Go ahead and plant them anyway if you want - certainly no harm in trying.

The best way to save seeds is cool (not frozen), dark, and dry.  A garage, or basement works well.  I use paper envelopes.  Avoid plastic, as any excess moisture could mean you get mold.
