Veggie seed supply

17 years ago

Hey Guys

Been absent from Garden Web for a while and missed ya'll.

Has anyone noticed the auctions for veggie seeds on Ebay lately? Veggie seeds are going for high prices! Is there a shortage of seeds (maybe due to the lack of honey bees) I don't know about? Auctions I have gotten in the past and paid like $10-$14 for a grab bad of 100 seeds are going for over $50 and some even over $75! I have never seen prices this high. The flower seed auctions are still a bargain, like 100 packs starting at .99, but this really puzzles me about the veggie seeds. I hope it just means that more people are going to plant a garden to save money next summer. Any thoughts or comments on this? Glad I have a good stock of veggie seeds for next summer cause I bet the store prices will be high too.

Take care

April

You might check for a local feedstore in your area, we have a Co-op (feed store) in our area where we can buy seeds by the oz, they have the old fashion bins where ya scoop them up & bag them there so ya can get as many or as few as ya like. They have greenbeans, cukes, corn, squash, pumpkins, radish, lettuce, watermelon, things along the line of direct sowing, they don't have things like tomato, peppers or flower seed, but the prices there are alot cheaper than buying a few in several small pkgs.
