| Getting 2 or 3 a day now. Who do you guys prefer? I'm a fan of Johnny's Selected Seeds myself. |
|
I've used Morgan County and Jung for some things I can't get locally but its way cheaper to buy seed from the local farm store assuming they carry stuff in bulk, they also have the varieties best suited for your area typically.
I'm not talking about TSC and other similar stores. Fun to go in and buy 1/4 oz of something and get charged .50 instead of $3 for the little packs. Probably helps that my family has been using the same place since I was a little boy. A lot of times I'll tell them to start pouring into the manual scale until I see enough seed to suit the row I'm planting

Nowadays nobody around here has the bulk seeds that I know of. I saw some of the bins go up for sale at an auction once, and wanted them, but they were sky high so I didn't get them. |
| We actually have a local seed company American Seed Co. in Porters Sideling/ Spring Grove PA. I get our seed potatoes, sweet corn, shallots, and anything we forgot to order from them. It's a pretty cool place they have most of their seeds in mason jars and will weigh out whatever you need. |
| Just attempted to place an order at Johnny's. Noticed their prices have gone up since I last ordered, $4-5 for a packet of seeds. Was completing my order, then saw they wanted $10 to ship 8 packets of seeds. Lol no. I closed that browser tab, and will try ordering someplace else tonight. |
