Time to pick some seeds for the season | Page 2 | Food Production and Preservation | Forums

I buy seeds from quite a few different places, but my favorite is the sustainable seed co. Even with the discounts I get at other places, sustainable is usually cheaper. Also, every fall they start selling "grab bags" as a way to clear out all of the last year's seeds. I think the grab bag costs about $30.00, and you get about $50.00 worth of seeds in it. You don't get to pick what seeds come in it, but it's kind of fun opening it up not knowing what you're getting. I've bought two grab bags from them, and both were filled with a very diverse mix of seeds. Mostly vegetables, but I also got a lot of different grains, herbs, and beneficial flowers.

I think those totes are a great idea Kvr. I have a pretty ghetto green house that I put together last year. I started off building a small shed, but didn't finish by the end of summer (I only got the floor, frame, roof, and door done). To protect the wood from the elements, I wrapped the whole thing in industrial plastic wrap, and cut out a section for the door. It worked awesome last year, so I purposely left it the way it was to use again this year. It ain't pretty, but it works!

^ Haha, damn! Guess you'll be waiting awhile still to give those totes a try?

Yea, the grab bags are pretty awesome. I'm really not even planning on buying any seeds this year, as the two grab bags I bought, along with last years left overs will be more than enough. Hell, I think I've got something like 18 different varieties of just tomatoes!
