In case you need garden seeds !

The time to start getting your garden seeds is here.
We also offer Harmonic herb seeds again this seed season.
Gord and Kathleen are the people behind this brand and if you were to have any questions,they will gladly help you out.  The brown papered seed packages are easy to spot.
Did you know they live in Barrhead ?
This season, Renees garden and Cornucopia again have a display with different varieties of seeds for the garden.
Lindenberg is the name of a latest addition.  Price wise they are very good.
A lot of our customers are looking for organic seeds.
So we added some Mckenzie varieties to choose from.
A few years ago a company called Seedcenter provided many garden centers with the big brown bags of vegetable seeds. This company is no longer in business and the Lindenberg company has filled up this empty space.  
They offer big bags for the well known veggie varieties for a very good price.
Have you ever tried seed tapes?  These have become very popular and many customers just love to seed with these.
You simply roll out the tapes, cover them with little dirt, water everything and you are done.

Good to know:
1. store seeds in a cool area (we use a big fridge to store the seeds in).  Keeping them cool will keep the seeds from germination and drying out.
2. When you buy seeds, there is always a germination percentage.  
This means that there are always some seeds that will not sprout. So if you plan on having lots of veggies, maybe seed some extras to make sure you end up with enough.
3. some seeds you should not keep over (like onions).  It is best to buy new seeds every season.

Also, a date to mark on your calender:
Hopefully spring will have a good start this year, but after 17 seasons, we realize we might have a surprise still to come.

Our store is open and you are most welcome to just stop by and get a taste of spring already.
