You're right about Seeds of Change. They are pricey. Fortunately I ordered most of what I needed from Bountiful Gardens. They are part of Ecology Action and are real into Bio-Intensive Gardening. Based out of California, they have been around for 34 yrs, helping people around the world learn sustainable, organic gardening practices.<BR/>Their seeds range in price from $1.95-$3 something. They did note in the catalog that they made a deliberate choice to NOT raise the price of seed this yr specifically for the purpose of not pricing those people out that may need the grow thier own food the most! Is that awsome or what!<BR/>I've already told DH that I'll be making a 2nd order just to stock up since obviously seeds are getting expensive.<BR/>They have some really interesting and heirloom varieties. They also carry some conventional stuff with the note that they were verified to be grown without chems or pesticides etc. To the best of my knowledge, they don't carry any GMO stuff.<BR/>But I'd email someone to verify it for myself. You honestly can't be too careful when it comes to frankenfoods!<BR/>Check 'em out! ...and save!<BR/>ValerieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633085175536982087.post-72201134771254134212009-01-15T18:53:00.000-06:002009-01-15T18:53:00.000-06:00My son needs basil tea!!I also get seeds of change...My son needs basil tea!!<BR/>I also get seeds of change seeds, but I bought them here.I can't remember how much I paid.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345180477041749388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633085175536982087.post-12299871736676024542009-01-12T07:41:00.000-06:002009-01-12T07:41:00.000-06:00I am often put off by the cost of shipping.

I think you can get most of the seeds in Austin at places like Natural gardener, Barton Springs, Shoal Creek and yesterday I saw a good selection at Zinger.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633085175536982087.post-75174527867538183562009-01-11T12:22:00.000-06:002009-01-11T12:22:00.000-06:00I agree.

When my family visited Homestead Heritage in Waco, I'd noticed they used/sold Seeds from SOC too.<BR/><BR/>I'll still purchase from them what I can't find locally. Their customer service was good considering the mishap, but their shipping is steep.Helen Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10858208782416224178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633085175536982087.post-74459511653256486252009-01-11T11:07:00.000-06:002009-01-11T11:07:00.000-06:00I have ordered from them for years and they have h...I have ordered from them for years and they have had excellent service. I just looked at my catalog and your right, they have gone up. But they do have some varieties that no one else has. I've ordered the Yakon this year. I ordered it last year and they ran out before my order. I've never seen it in any other source, and it does sound interesting.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820151806039495564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633085175536982087.post-14311696692494050712009-01-11T07:34:00.000-06:002009-01-11T07:34:00.000-06:00Did you know shipping was so high before you order...Did you know shipping was so high before you ordered?Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496784583960011452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633085175536982087.post-28789174204467347072009-01-11T07:01:00.000-06:002009-01-11T07:01:00.000-06:00Gotta give some of that there basil to my dh! ;)Gotta give some of that there basil to my dh! ;)Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084586926114231069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633085175536982087.post-49855040253018858572009-01-10T22:01:00.000-06:002009-01-10T22:01:00.000-06:00I can not wait to plant the catnip!!!I can not wait to plant the catnip!!!cattitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342811990873113539noreply@blogger.com
