BEST Seeds and Why...
Posted by: mindy66 ()

Hi to all,

I am brand brand new to Raw veganism (is that a word?).

I would totally love to hear y'alls feedback on what seeds are best to buy for an organic garden and WHY.

Though I've never done it, I know that if I am going to start from seed, I need to get started ASAP indoors.

I am in Zone 8B if that helps with any advice you might like to throw my way.

The plot that we have available is odd shaped. In feet, it measures, 34 X 48 X 28 X 37.5.

We've only ever done 1 partial garden (used 1/5 of our plot), but really want to delve in this year.

Would love any advice whatsoever. Thank you, thank you!!

Mindy

Oh ya, and also what you would recommend being sure to avoid in seeds, amendments, etc.

Thanks again. I can't wait to hear what you guys have to share.

By best seeds, I mean brand, etc. Not what type of veggie seeds to buy.

Thx again,

im not really sure what brand is best, I used to get most of my seeds from local gardeners of various heirloom varieties, maybe check for a seed exchange in your area or something similar? im sure somebody would be willing to sharegrinning smiley

Wowee, thanks Jgunn!!

I've heard it said that certain seeds are not good to grow plants from because of the tampering that humans have done with them. Yes??

So excited to check some of these sites out. Really kind of you to take the time to type them all out for me. smiling smiley
