Definiton of Types of Garden Seeds

About the Different Types of Seeds

Understanding the different types of garden seeds is the perfect starting point for every seed search. As a gardener, you (and I) are always looking for seeds. We all seek the staples…. garden seeds that we’ve used successfully to grow our favorite flower, vegetable, or herb crops. And, many of us seek organic, and/or non-GMO seeds to provide healthier food to our families. As we become really hooked on the gardening hobby, we seek an uncommon or unique variety of seeds. We may seek a variety that offers better insect or disease resistance. Or, perhaps your goal is to grow a world record tomato or pumpkin, and are seeking a specific genetic trait….weight. 

Whatever reason compels you into this fun search, there is no shortage of varieties for you to peruse.
