I was even hoping there would be a way to find a grass-roots source
where perhaps I could barter for seeds or ... something.
Unfortunately, it always comes down the same thing. 20 years ago I
couldn't get involved with a heritage seed exchange program because I
was living then in an apartment (actually, it was smaller than my
present bachelor apartment!) so I couldn't participate in exchanging
heirloom seeds.

If you've the time, energy and will, and there is such a thing in your area,
what about taking a public allotment garden?

Thanks for that suggestion. There aren't any near me whatsoever, and
one that is far costs too much.

But back to my original question, anyone have any ideas re seeds.
I've been looking and even were I to grow a garden, the cost of those
little packets is too steep.

Hoping someone knew of a cost effective solutions for this. thx.
Heck, it's worth a try to ask the question one last time.
