Seed time

Now is the time to order your aquaponic seeds. The new seed catalogs for next year are coming out
and the seed supply is probably as good as it's going to get .

Here on the Big Island of Hawaii we have seeds sold in our grocery stores, hardware stores, Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowes. The germination rate on these seeds is usually less than 50 % but if you buy seeds now, dated for 2012 ,  you should get a better germination rate.  I like to keep them in the refrigerator in a ziplock plastic bag until I use them.

For the very best germination and generous seed packets I like to order
from BakerCreek Heirloom seeds. They have a seed catalogue that is a real joy to read .
