SEEDS

I bought our seeds for the garden today - I am VERY excited! 

150 packets of Heirloom seeds chosen for this region at $0.40 each! 

Of course I don't intend to plant them all this season, but it's a good start.  You can store seeds for 10-20 years in the right conditions.  If you want the comfort of knowing you'll have a steady, affordable source of food for the next decade or so I would start collecting seed whenever you can.  Heirloom are the only seeds still available that allow you to collect and re-plant.  Monsantos has gotten to all others, including organic and especially hybrid.  More than likely it wont be long before they get to the heirlooms too.
