Post #3768843

I've been aware of SSE for several years but this was the first season I've ordered seeds from them. So far, I've been quite happy with the results. I will post an opinion on Garden Watchdog at the end of the season.

What I'd like to ask about is the value of membership in Seed Savers Exchange. I've read their website so I've gotten their "take" on it (i.e. support a good cause and get a yearbook with many rare varieties not found on their commercial website). I'm just curious if anybody here is an SSE member, if you recommend it, and (if you join) can you order the "rare" seeds just like you would from their commercial website or do you have to save seeds and trade them? (I'm not opposed in principle to saving and trading at all, but just have not done it and am still working on several other gardening related projects and goals before I get around to learning the seed saving art).

So, opinions anybody? Thanks in advance.
