Seeds! Seeds! Seeds!

Well, it's that exciting time of the year! Time to buy your seeds! Yippee! I love buying seeds, planting seeds and watching everything come up out of the ground (or pots) and grow to producing/flowering! Ahhh! Can't wait! Children love to help plant the seeds and watch the plants come up and pick the produce or flowers, etc. I want to teach my girls how to save seeds from the plants they grow themsleves. So I have been getting open pollinated, seeds and I got one book on seed saving so far. Here is some links to the best seed sellers that sell open pollinated seeds that I have found so far:

They also have a vegetable garden seed pack, too! It is already vacuum packed and will keep a few years. I got one for us this winter already!
