Discount Drug Mart vegetable seeds.
I was at the Discount Drug Mart this morning and they put their seed display out.Picked up some Jalapeno seeds for .25 cents a packet.They even had some Heirloom Tomato seeds of which I already have.I was looking for but did not find Early Girl Tomato and Thai Dragon pepper seeds.Will keep looking as I have plenty of time yet.Thought I'd give everyone a heads up if they have a Discount Drug Mart near by here in NE Ohio.

Just about any time I find cheap seeds like this I buy them it just goes to show how much they are marked up sometimes.
Yesterday at the feed store they had Foo Foo seeds at almost $4.00 a pack. Next to them same seeds same amount or more, lesser known seeds for 1.99 a pack. The Martha Stewart seeds just kill me. Worth |

We buy the 20 cent seed packs for several reasons. One being it's a cheap way to try something new-to-us, and the pepper and tomato seed packs have enough seeds for several years - depending on how many you grow.

A lot of the more common and popular varieties appear in those packets and grow well. It's about the only place I can easily find the old fashioned yellow warty crookneck squash anymore! I don't like the flavor of the smooth crooknecks as much as I do the warty funky looking ones.

The store I found these is here in Cuyahoga Falls,I'm going over into Stow the town next to us and that Drug Mart and see if they have the same selection.Lowes has a great selection but I don't think they have theirs out yet.

I already bought some seeds at Lowes... Probably the first one there after the rack was out, but they were Burpees and not the cheapest seeds I have bought but i needed them so the price was right.

They had a huge selection last year.I'll drop by after work tomorrow.Most prices at Discount Drug Mart were around $1.50 a pack.Off brand name on all.The one I bought was another off brand that were 4 for $1.But some were Heirloom Tomatoes.I did not expect seeds this early but it makes you think spring.And that's a good feeling.
