Hello Everyone,

                I have a quick question. Where can I find the little zipper baggies that most of ya'll put your seeds in? Can I get these at Walmart? I have some seeds that I want to put on my trade list that I am working on and I don't know where to find them they look like they would work the best. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks Kat.

Thanks Ya'll, I went to Walmart this afternoon and they did have them for 97cents a bag of 100 so I got two. Thanks Dizzy for the FYI. I will definitely make sure they are dry before putting them in the baggies. Well I will chat later. Happy Gardening, Kat

I like to dry my seeds on

I like to dry my seeds on white paper plates. I take a Sharpee marker and label each plate. Once the seeds are dry, I can put them in a central place like a large envelope until I divide them into baggies to trade.

Thats what I do. I use the strofoam plates. Now with the chamomile and chives we use screen that way the seed falls through and then we put the seeds in the plates to dry an extra week or so. It seems to work very well.

Just a FYI - make sure your seeds are COMPLETELY dry before storing them in any plastic - otherwise they will mold & rot.

Thanks Susan,

              That is really helpful. I am going to Walmart this evening I will look. I don't get to the city that much but when I do I will check out Michael's too. I forgot I can check out Michael's online before I go and probably have it shipped to me. I am just so excited to be posting again I can't think clearly. Hee Hee. It is the withdrawels LOL!! Thanks again Susan

Try doing a Google Search for plastic craft bags....I know my hubby bought some really tiny ones from a big supplier and he got a thousand of them and they were quite reasonable. I don't know what NY tax is like, but TX tax is 8.25% and sometimes it's cheaper to pay postage than it is to pay tax.

As for withdrawals, I totally understand that. I was so desperate to get back here when the site was down that I thought that if I had to wait much longer, you might all be hearing that I was in some institution. The only positive thing that came out of this withdrawal was that it afforded me the chance to do some things I had been neglecting badly!

Several places!

I've heard folks say that they CAN get them at Walmart in the craft dept. You can buy a couple of hundred of them for $1 or $2. If you have  craft stores near you like Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Ben Franklin or any of those places, you might check there, too. They may have several different sizes.Alternatively, if you prefer not to use plastic, we've got a few templates somewhere on this site for seed envelopes. All you have to do is print the templates (and I think you can get 6 or 9 on a page.)
