Yep, that's our garden. We keep ...Hi Economies,<br />Yep, that's our garden. We keep working on it, building it and adding new things. Our goal is something like an English walled garden.<br /><br />I will try that with the coriander seeds. Some seeds for consumption are heat treated to kill any living beings inside, and will fail to sprout. But some are not. An easy way to see if your seeds have any viability is to place about 10 seeds sandwiched in a folded over paper towel, dampened and slid into a baggie. Place in a warm place, like the top of the fridge, and check after about 10-15 days to see how many sprouted. If 3 sprouted, then your seeds have 30% viabilty, 7 sprouted, then 70% viability, which would be considered good enough by most gardeners.<br /><br />And even $1 a packet would be better than the regular big name brand price of $2.29 each or so, which is what I often see.<br /><br />Saving seeds is also popular with gardeners. If you are saving a non-hybrid plant's seeds, what you plant the next year will grow true to it's name. This is the way a lot of people who plant heirlooms get each year's seeds.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-47299403937238190232013-02-08T07:18:41.057-08:002013-02-08T07:18:41.057-08:00Is that your garden in the photo?

It looks very nice, the kind of garden I'm dreaming of one day :) 25 cents is great value for a pack of seeds, the cheapest ones I have seen cost about a dollar. <br /><br />Another tip that I have heard is to plant seeds that are sold as spices (for example coriander/cilantro seeds). I haven't tried it out, but have heard they grow fine. I don't know if it would be cost effective where you are, but I can get about a pound of those seeds for a couple of dollars.

And for variety, they typically package just 1 or 2 of each kind of vegetable. If you can be flexible on variety, or you just want to try something out for the first time, then they're a great deal.<br /><br />Thanks for adding your input.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-33343630802392855852013-02-07T17:47:02.400-08:002013-02-07T17:47:02.400-08:00I have used this brand of seeds before (got the fo...I have used this brand of seeds before (got the for ten cents/package) and had good success with them.
