Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank realchristmas

I'm a gardener with fifty years' experience. I used these seeds for the last two growing seasons. I had no issues with germination. They grew and fruited (and flowered) very well. My gardening specializes in growing fruiting trees and perennials at or just beyond their hardiness zones. My annuals are secondary, but important as well. These are cheap because they are old, non-hybrid varieties, and you get a relatively small amount of seeds. A small amount of seeds is more than enough for most home gardeners. I start them about now indoors under grow lights. I generally grow organically, if that matters. So, if you want the latest varieties/hybrids, look elsewhere. If you find these offered varieties suit your needs, I highly recommend them.
By the way, I find the more popular vegetables sell out quickly. One more thing, I got five per dollar the last couple of years. Still a bargain.
Repped.

I bought some cucumber, carrots, pumpkin, and tomato seeds last year from the dollar tree and I had a pretty good haul last year. It was my first time growing something and I was shocked because I just threw the seeds in a hole I dug with a shovel lol.

I grew those, with the exception of pumpkin, over the past summer. Surprisingly easy to grow for first time gardening, but I will say that the carrots were disappointingly small and not worth the effort. I don't imagine spending more at the other stores would have necessarily yielded a significantly larger amount. Slick deal.

Hello, Wazzuper1. Congratulations on your gardening success. Carrots need a loose soil to develop properly. I find them best suited for sandy, stone-free soils. The clay soil in my area produces stunted carrots unless large amounts of organic material are added. Conversely, all those other crops you mentioned do not mind clay soil so long as it drains reasonably well. If you decide to try carrots again, you may wish to consider a raised bed where you control the composition of the soil completely. I agree this may not be worth your effort. My general approach is to grow things I like that are fairly easy, thus making gardening a pleasure rather than a burden. The trick is to find what works well in your plot. Sounds like you're well on your way.

"You get what you pay for!" I whole heartedly disagree with that saying. I'm also really supprised I see it used on a deal site as much as it is. A deal is getting a better cost to quality ratio than most other places. Doesn't matter if it is retail at a particular store. Many dollar store items are sold on amazon and in walmart for 2, 3, 4 x as much. Dollar is a deal to those who didn't know they could get those items there.

"You get what you pay for!" suggests that quality is a direct relation to price. Aka $1 seeds are twice as good as $0.50 seeds. Now a days do to globalization of production the difference is mostly in packaging, labeling, quantity, etc. The actual products are coming from the same source just a slightly modified run for a particular seller. So in reality when you pay $200 for something with a fancy brand that Walmart sells for $100, your likely getting a product that is maybe $10 better and putting $90 in the pocket of someone who wants you to think their brand is premium.

There are exceptions to what I said, but odds say your quality to cost ratio is going to go down as price goes up.

I went there again today to pick more seeds, as I am afraid that I have lost some of the seedlings after the historical winter storm hit Texas. This time I took this photo for everybody to see what varieties are available.
