Hi, Gang!

I just scored a huge handful of good veggie and flower varieties in
seed packets at a local store - lettuce, broccoli, carrots, parsley,
you-name-it, for my fall garden.... at 19 cents per packet. Down from
$1.99, in some cases. All the garden and variety stores are clearing
out the very last of the seeds and it's a great time to grab seeds for
now and next spring. Even some of the seed catalogs have end-of
season, on-line seed sales going.

I keep seeds in a tupperware-type container in the bottom of our
fridge. Leftover seeds and home-gathered seeds from the spring and
summer season are in small ziplock bags in the container and "regular"
seed packets are just stored "as is". They last not only for the
entire year but up to five years, depending on the variety and type of
plant.

So, Frugal Gardeners - shop now!
