For next year, get on the catalouge list, it's utter seed smut (in a good way).

I sympathize, I spent quite a bit on my seed list for this years garden too. Though hopefully it will be well worth it.

Ditto. And I haven't done the irrigation order yet; this year I'm insisting on a drip system.

Do you not have a local garden center in your area???
We sell bulk garden seed, etc, cheep... at ours.
For 56.13 you could have bought enough onion, tomatoes, peppers, seed potatoes, seeds to feed a frugal family of 4 for a season at our store.

Look in the old fashioned hardware stores too for bulk seed. Buckles Hardware in Monroe, Ga. has it all. Even Christmas Pole Bean.

I think I spend more money on chicken-proofing my garden than I do on birds and seeds

well I most diffinitally spent more on chicks/chickens than seeds this year ... although I thought of ordering more of both ... I need some RIR bantams badly.... and more flowers of course... I plant tons of sunflowers for snacks for my chickens during the winter... and the local birds also...

The worst part is I still need to fence in the gardens to keep the chickens out (that includes buying the supplies) and buy sand or gravel to prevent my coop become a swamp ever again! And I just got an email from Cook's Garden today saying all but one item has shipped.
