Buying seeds online? Watch this video first!

Where to buy and how to choose good quality seeds for planting. Seeds for growing vegetables, greenery or flowers in your garden. I will show what I do to find the best seeds possible. Those times when we bought seeds from local farmers markets and could immediately see on their shelves what could grow of them are long gone, and in the age of the Internet, most of us prefer not to go to the farmers market or garden centres anymore, but to buy everything online. And as a result of our gullibility and, to some extent, incompetence, a network of Internet scammers has proliferated and expanded. They sell seeds of the plants that do not exist in nature such as: blue, black and rainbow roses or even blue strawberries or square watermelons.
This is an ideal fraud, and as a result, in the event of an obvious failure in an attempt to grow something, people usually blame themselves: we planted it wrong, watered it wrong, we did not take good care of it, did not sprinkle some toxic chemical muck and simply did not believe in success and therefore nothing has grown. But this is not so, you were simply cheated. Good seeds will always give their results, and even with an absolutely untrained inexperienced gardener, because this is all a natural process given to us by nature itself. #gardening #seeds #VegetableGarden #growingvegetables #garden #gardeningtips #seedlingtrays #startingseeds #onlineshopping

This was very useful to me. I just learned about hybrids and heirlooms.

In the US, the most common brands of seeds are Burpee and Ferry Morse. You will find these in most big box retailers this spring. However, these are generally very low quality seeds with poor germination. Professionally grown seeds come with a germination test, which guarantees the freshness and health of the seeds you ordered. I highly recommend Johnny's, but they delay ordering for all retail customers until spring, so I will have to go elsewhere.
