A few months back, when I woke up in a cold sweat about the future of the dollar and started prepping seriously, the first thing I did was bought a bucket of various organic seeds from a vendor. Now, I'm Scottish; I don't part with money lightly, so I did whatever research I could, although this was before I even knew about this forum, so I was winging it. But the bucket that I bought got decent reviews. We'll see, I imagine.
An LDS friend of mine from college (with whom I reconnected over the subject of prepping a few weeks after I bought the bucket) said not to go for the big seed assortments, to buy individual packets of heirloom seeds from a reputable vendor (like Baker Creek, IIRC) and, of course, grow and save my own from my garden (which is on the agenda for this next year and henceforth). Duly noted. It's on the agenda.
But I've met a few people who are interested, and so I thought I'd ask; just as a starter, and as a baseline to get a newbie (someone newbier than me, even) into having seeds in stock fast, is there a good starter kit anyone would recommend?
