Nature's way

I am becoming concerned about the number of people who are sending messages to me to say that they have got temperate climate trees or seeds but nowhere to put them outside.
It is neither natural nor practical to grow such items away from natures tender care and they should never have been attempted because of the inevitable disappointment. I hope that this message might save some more of these mistakes from being made.

stymie, I have the patience and interest in growing from seed But I don't have the know how of how to and where to get some seeds. Can you recommend a good sight for info. I know it's probably too late in the season but I want to brush up now for later. Thanks.

If you order seeds from eBay, make sure they are fresh. A lot of seed sellers sell old seeds, unfortunately.

You obviously have access to the Internet. What better place. I have gotten quality seeds from Ebay but I only buy from sellers that know when the seed was harvested and probably harvested it themselves. Fresh seeds.

Thanks for the tip on Buying seeds. Just like Hungkuen, I had no Idea about buying fresh seeds. I thought all I had to do is place an order. Any advise on sights that can teach me how to cultivate them. As far as what type of seed, I don't know. I'm looking to grow a variety of types.
