Where do you get the little plastic bags?
Comments (12)Judy is the bomb!! **big smile** (((HUGZ))) you can go to sams club if you have one near by and buy a box of them that's what i did, its much cheaper! LOL, then after you start trading, save your envi's, you won't have to buy anymore! trust me on tht! i had a whole huge kitchen trash bag full of them!! LOL one time i had two of them full!! i thought i'd need them, so i saved them (i wasn't trading for a bit) LOL ya, i ended up throwing them away, hubs said throw them away!!!! man, he was furious!! LOL so save them! they may look alittle used, but they are reusuable, i used aknife to open mine, LOL and i sometimes either used scotch tape or stapled them shut, as for the baggies, i use walmart little baggies (100/99 cents in the hobbies) and i made some using the method they showed, and pumkingal? she had a whole page on how to make them and so did quiltingfox. its very economical! LOL especially if you get lots of magazines! LOL...See MoreWhere Do You Get Your Seed Envelopes?
Comments (20)Here I go, raving about this woman's site again. I can't help it: when I find someone who sells a LOT of high-germination rare seeds for VERY little (and is a good person and great resource), I just want to broadcast. I guess that makes me a gardener. Anyway, Diane's site has little Glassine envelopes at $1 for 20. I'll post the link down below. I usually spend $5 for a hundred, and that lasts forever. I use them for the teeny seeds, and just plain coin-envelopes (a couple of sizes) for the larger ones. She's in the USA, which is a bit of a pain in that you have to wait a week or so. Hope this helps. Here is a link that might be useful: glassine seed envelopes...See MoreAnother seed question: does freezing kill Tom Seeds
Comments (10)Just one additional comment. When I save seeds I do a thorough drying operation of at least 1 full month indoors before they go into plastic packets and then into the freezer. I dry them after cleaning/fermentation/recleaning for 1 week on wax paper. They them flake right off the wax paper and go into plastic cups or jar lids properly labeled for another 3 weeks for final drying. Got to be careful to put them where wind/varmints/children/cleaning spouses/etc. wont mix them up or pitch them out! I'm sure I am probably overdoing the drying thing, but it's free and other than the storage hastle works good. I think freeze drying would be a great help for bulk lots--wish I had the means to do it and work out a process. Larry...See MoreWhere do you get your tomato seeds from? And when?
Comments (17)I use Hazzard's Wholesale Seeds. Most seeds come in a minimum packet size of 250 seeds except some expensive hybrids that come in 100 seed packets. You can get better prices on the hybrids elsewhere, but for open pollinated tomato seeds you get 250 seeds (actually most packs have about 280 seeds) for about twice to three times the price of what other dealers would charge for 20 to 50 seeds. They sell 7000 varieties of flower and vegetable and herb seeds, and their catalog is about an inch thick, but no pretty pictures. Shipping is a flat $5.95. but once you order from them they will keep sending you free shipping offers. A lot of packets, but not all, have the germination test data on them, which very few other vendors provide. So if you are growing plants for sale and need a lot of seeds they are a good place to buy from, but if you are only going to start a couple of plants better to go to one of the retail vendors, even though your per seed price would be much higher. Shipping is very fast and so far they have had everything in stock, all my orders arrived in four to six business days from when I ordered the seeds....See Moretomncath
