Default Wal mart cutting back on seeds.

I also bought a couple seed packets at Home Depot this year because they
were on sale for half off. I found out this year that the best places to

buy
seeds here(for the variety they offer, aka lots of heirlooms) are the 2
local feed/garden stores. Though now that we're getting very close to
summer, I'm buying plants now, bought 2 strawberries which were

berry-laden
already($1 each), 5 tomatoes(65cents each), 6 pack of Red Sails
lettuce($2.29), 1 Hungarian Hot Wax pepper and 1 bell pepper($1.50each),

and
6 broccolis($3). Was also happy to see that 15 of the Walla Wallas I

planted
last year(I got a bunch of 50 for $2.50 at local nursery) are very happy
right now. :-) The bargains are there, just gotta find them. Oh also got

a
6pack of celery for...don't remember, but I know for sure it was under $5.
Might have been $2.49. *can't wait for the weather to be decent so I can

get
these plants outside instead of in my bedroom*


I think wal mart seeds were an ok starting point for the beginning gardener.
But that was when they had 2 revolving carousels and 2 wall panels of seeds.
Now all they have is only one panel of seeds tucked away in a back aisle.
