Today I spent a great deal of the day reading my now hefty stack of seed catalogs and am frustrated at the fact that, as usual, I need far fewer seeds than are ever offered by most vendors in their packs. Plus the prices have gone way up. Just how many eggplants does a girl need? I generally just save the extras and use them up over a few years, but I would rather find a supplier who sells a more modest amount that are packaged for the average home vegetable and flower grower.

Does anyone know a vendor who packages smaller amounts or should I try the seed swap? I looked at the list in the seed swap and was not excited about wading through it, plus I saw no names that I recognized from the Northeast. It just seems like a waste of money to buy seeds that I can't possible plant in a small garden or just save them for years. Ideas? Patti
