hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper I just got back
from Dollar Tree where I
found garden vegetable seeds packets four packets for a dollar 25 cents each the Dollar Tree
had a quite a selection of vegetable garden seeds I know they were
picked over there were some kinds of
seeds I was looking for that were not
available but I found a wide variety of seeds plant garden and
I wanted to share with you the kind of
vegetable herb and flower seeds you can buy at Dollar Tree
four packets of seeds for a dollar nice variety of
lettuce peas pumpkin several varieties
of peppers spinach cabbage two kinds of
carrots garden beans squash I would have
liked to have found some zucchini they were
just not available there were other
varieties that my family does not eat so
those I did not purchase garden vegetable seeds packets
from Dollar Tree may not include as
many seeds as varieties that you would
pay much more for but they are only 25
cents each and it's clearly marked the
weight of the seeds tiny seeds in
milligrams and then larger seeds in
grams so you could use that to compare
to other packets of seeds that you may
choose to buy I was able to find some seeds for
herbs sage parsley so I'm
going to try to go back to Dollar Tree see if I can
find more varieties vegetable seeds another day
I was very excited to find varieties of
heirloom seeds at the Dollar Tree heirloom seeds produce
plants that you can collect and save the
seeds and they will sprout again a lot
of the modern seeds have been treated or
changed or genetically modified or some
process has been done to them so when you
collect the seeds many times they will
not continue to sprout and you cannot
continue to save your seeds and plant a
garden in the future if you're
interested in Prepping and you may want
to garden in the future this is a good
chance to stock up on heirloom variety vegetable
seeds if you want to collect heirloom
seeds and you want them to last you
need to be sure that you keep the seeds
in a cool dry place your packages are
just paper and you don't want them to
get any moisture in them so you can seal
them away in a ziploc bag squeeze out as
much air as possible and then seal the seed packets
up in something like a Christmas tin it's
going to help protect your seeds so
they'll be viable when you decide to use
them I was also able to find varieties
of flower seeds at the Dollar Tree of flowers that I know
will grow well in my climate in Alaska
so I got lots of flower seeds at the Dollar Tree at 25 cents each
I can scatter the seeds around my garden and enjoy some
extra summer blossom just like any
standard seed packet the back of the
package will give you directions it'll
tell you when to plant the seeds how long it
takes for them to germinate how deeply
to plant the seeds how far apart to space
them and how long until you can harvest
your plants so read on the back of the seed packet and pay
attention to the little map that shows
you the climate and the date for your
region of where you live when to plant and how to plant seeds from the Dollar Tree look also on
your seeds for the sell-by date so that
you know which year your seeds were packed for
so that you know you're buying the
freshest seeds ever the seeds can continue to
be stored carefully and last much longer
just know that there is a date on there
of what year you're expected to use them
while I was choosing my vegetable and flower seeds at Dollar Tree I met a
lady who told me last year she bought Dollar Tree
seeds planted one packet of tomato seeds and produced
110 tomato plants all which
grew and produced tomatoes that's pretty
good success with the Dollar Tree seeds seed packets
