Can anyone suggest a place to order vegetable seeds online, fairly
cheap? I wanna order my seeds before spring and get some started
early... but the local places here sell seeds right around spring
time - too late in the season for early plantings...and most of the
places like burpee.com can be expensive if you order several
packages.

to save money on seeds, buy large packets and freeze them so you can
use them for many years. one place where you can buy large packages is
Territorial Seeds. But, right now I would be happy to give away my
large tomato packages but I have 20 years to go on about 20 dollars
worth of seeds.

Thanks for the info. I have a large collection of seeds, but I still
buy the hybrid variety vegetables since I cannot collect and use
those seeds. Someone needs to get a website together where gardners
can exchange seeds... or has that already been done?

Thanks again!

Fairly cheap, and S&H for seed-only orders is reasonable:

Never used it myself, but www.gardenweb.com has what looks to be a very
active seed exchange. If you live in the US, Canada and Australia then
you can post on their forums and exchange seeds via a self addressed
stamped envelope (SASE). Not sure about other countries.

In addition to the other suggestions, compare prices at:
www.stokesseeds.com

And, this is a good guide for how long you can get away with storing various
types of seeds:

The page is down at the moment. Keep trying.

I get my stuff from www.rareseeds.com, and www.gurneys.com. But you don't
want cheap cheap - you get what you pay for. In some cases you might want
the more expensive seeds, depending on what you grow. I need disease
resistant pumpkins and squash - last year, mildew destroyed all of my squash
and pumpkins. by the end of August.

You can check out my website - (yes this is a shameless plug) I have
some posted, and will continue to add to it this week.

Again - you can use my website (it is brand new). In the community
section, there is an area set up for people that would like to exchange
seeds.
