As I only plant a few things other than about a dozen or so tomatoes I
have been ordering my seeds from this place for the last few years.
Usually around December.

Most of the things I plant are some hybrids that I can not save the
seeds from and know what will actually come up if anything.

I started ordering the seeds because I could not find some of them or
plants locally whenI wanted them. I now have 6 tomato plants up a few
inches that were planted near the first of Feb. I will put some more
seeds in cups in about another week. They should go in the ground about
the 3rd week in April as I am in the middle of NC.

I prefer to grow heirloom varieties , just because they almost always
breed true . I'm also looking at the 3rd week of April or so , weather permitting .

check around for seed libraries and seed saving organisations
or people in your area. our local library has one going now, but
i'm not sure how many people are using it. i need to check it
next time i go into town to see if anything i've donated is out
and needs to be restocked.

or start your own seed swap. :) the large one that i've
attended and given away a lot of bean seeds and other things
has been cancelled this year so that's sad, but hopefully it
will be back next year.

We usually have a seed swap meet here in February , but last year we
didn't , probably not this year either . That's OK though , I have seed
for all the stuff we usually plant . I did plant some stuff this year
that I usually don't , like 6 cells of Osage Orange . It's a very useful
plant around a survivalist homestead ... not that we're exactly
survivalists , but I gathered the seeds a couple of years ago just to
see if I could get it to grow .
