After the rabid success of the Great Seed Giveaway of 2012, I am now mostly depleted in my seed stock. Which is exactly what I wanted. Now, it’s time to refresh! The best time to do that would probably be at the end of the season, when stores and retailers are trying to get rid of their stock.
Groupon Seed Deal
However, today Groupon is running a fantastic sale on seeds. For $25, you get TWENTY!! different varieties of seeds, and they’re not being stingy with the seeds either. Here’s the breakdown:
| Variety | Seed Count |
| Blue Lake Bush Bean | Over 150 seeds |
| California Wonder Bell Pepper | Over 70 seeds |
| Scarlet Nantes Carrot | Over 800 seeds |
| Marketmore Cucumber | Over 150 seeds |
| Parris Island Cos Romaine Lettuce | Over 900 seeds |

| Snowball Cauliflower | Over 285 seeds |
| Black Beauty Zucchini | Over 50 seeds |
| Crimson Sweet Watermelon | Over 60 seeds |
Some of you might recognize that I was giving away some of these seeds. Right now, I am interested in the broccoli, radishes, peas, and beats, all of which would be good for a baby and toddler, which I am expecting in the Fall, 2012.
This is a great deal for those who really want to branch out what they’re growing, a CSA, and for those who have a community garden to sustain and/or participate in. What’s great is that you can buy three of these, get 60 packets of good seeds for $75, shipping included. Then, you’re set for years to come, if you store the seeds correctly.
If you’re new to Groupon and decide to buy, please use my referral link. You don’t have to, but I would appreciate it:
