Seed Savers is a non-profit seed saving and exchange organization in North America. “About Seed Savers” will give you an overview. Aside from being able to purchase seeds from the Seed Saver website, you may also be able to find a member listed on the site who lives nearby. There is a search feature to find addresses of stores locally that carry seeds from Seed Savers. Sometimes these are nature food stores, not garden or farm suppliers. While searching for their web site, I also came across Seed Savers Australia.+ m( |" K/ M$ g4 A

They may also have purchased too many plant starts, so be sure to ask about those as well. Discount stores sometimes sell a limited variety of seeds all year long.公仔箱論壇4 j1 g' ^7 z3 ~8 m

# E. y4 m1 E: h) n4 ^Check your planting zone to see when your planting season ends. Seed packages will tell you how long the plant needs. I have a radish packet that tells me it takes 24 days to grow a radish. Do you have at least 24 days left in the planting season?tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb8 o( p! A2 J( L9 P4 J! L

The asparagus bean seed packet states 67 days to harvest. Suppose I have 68 days left in my planting season. That means I would be able to pick beans for only two days. That isn’t really enough time. With a plant like beans, you will want at least one or two weeks of beans to make it worth your time.公仔箱論壇& e* f& E( }' v5 T6 R

Check back soon (or subscribe to the blog) for more about Fall and Winter gardens and season extenders. In the meantime, you could begin seeds for dark leafy greens as these are good winter planting vegetables. Also, be sure to purchase soil amendments to give your late growing plants a head start. For a few cents per plant, you can infuse your soil with live microbial helpers (mycorrhizae) that will keep on giving.
