Buying Garden Seeds

Growing garden plants from seed gives you a huge selection to choose from. Master Gardener Tom Mashour talks about how to choose the right seeds for your garden. He reviews the advantages of seed catalogs, retail stores, and feed stores. Seed catalogs allow you to get your seeds early and offer a massive selection and have descriptions of each variety, but if you are only growing a few plants they can be expensive. Retail stores have a small selection but lower prices. Feed stores have a small selection but very low prices as the seeds are sold by weight. Tom gives tips on picking the best options for you.
