Unless TEOTWAWKI really happened, I don't plan to be doing any gardening, but still. What do you guys think. Should I buy it just to make myself feel good?

| You should try some gardening before you start depending on it for survival, but even if you don't you could stock up on seeds. It's a lot cheaper to just buy your own seeds and store them yourself than to buy a "collection" from somewhere else. If you buy them yourself you can make sure you get the rarieties you like and also get seeds better suited to your area. |

I agree with RR that your chances of a good harvest are slim if you delve into gardening only when SHTF. With that said, buy them. You never know what fate may bring, and it might just be a master gardener who is just looking for some seeds to plant. Can't plant 'em if you don't have 'em.

| FWIW i had a bad batch of hybrid cucumbers bought locally last year, not the first one came up. So i used my heirloom cuke seeds from www.heirloomseeds.com and every single seed sprouted. I hated to thin them but I will be ordering again from them. Properly packaged and reasonably priced. |
