Yes, you can order now for next season's planting {and save yourself some moola!}; just make sure when you receive your seeds you store them in a cool, dark place. I keep mine in the original envelopes in an airtight container or plastic bag.
This past season, I planted seeds from 1998 and had plenty of winter squashes and pumpkins to prove that if the seeds are stored correctly you can use them for years!
I like to order from Seed Savers Exchange because you can get so many fruit, vegetable and ornamental varieties that are not offered in the store or from other vendors; just because of what they do to prevent rare plants from becoming extinct and preserve heirloom varieties for everyone to enjoy for years to come.
Seed Savers Exchange also offers information for the home and market gardener about seed planting and preserving. Enjoy!
No, I'm not a Seed Saver member, but I think what they do is admirable and I absolutely love the seeds and services they provide!
Now, go get your seed stock for next year {only 5 days to go}!
