How to Get ALMOST Free Seeds for Your 2021 Garden! Frugal Gardening Tip

Welcome, everyone.
Welcome to the incredibly addictive world of seed trading!

*** I’ll answer any questions in the comments below!***

Today, I’m going over the basics of trading seeds; the what, why, how, who, and when’s.
If you want to greatly expand your seed collection, or if you NEED seeds for 2021 and are having a hard time getting by due to COVID and its effect on your job or income, fret not.

Many seed suppliers/growers have been hit hard due to this pandemic, and there’s been a huge surge in gardening across developed countries.

This means that there will be a LOWER supply, which has already taken a hit due to HIGH demand in 2020. Many online seed companies were backlogged with orders for weeks, even months! Don’t expect this to resolve by 2021; this pandemic is just getting started.

Seeds will be in short supply across retailers and seed shops, but there’s a large group of us who will hardly notice: seed traders! We find most of what we need among our very own communities.
