With the looks of 2021, it seems unlikely that we will want to head out to purchase seeds from our local shops. The next option is to purchase seeds online. Today, we are going to share with you a short guide to buying seeds online.

Firstly, you should ask your tursted gardener friends where they may buy seeds online. Going to places which are recommended by other gardeners will help you to know you are getting the best seeds possible.

When purchasing seeds online you will also need to consider delivery dates. You will need to order these ahead of time to ensure that they arrive in time to be planted.

A common mistake when purchasing seeds online is overbuying. Spending more money than necessary. You need to remember that your garden is still the same size, you may not be able to use all the seeds you desire.
