Baker Creek seeds are interesting. Heirloom varieties.
You can buy seeds online from many sources. Even Amazon.
Yes, this ruling is very dumb.
Just goes to show there is not enough awareness of gardening, the most ordinary activity in the world.
You can RE-GROW the cut off parts of vegetables you are already eating. That is a way around needing seeds. Be aware of how long plants take to produce, and make sure there is still time for them to produce this summer. If Fall is going to come before they produce, not useful.
Unless you have, or can rig up, a greenhouse. Or grow on a very sunny windowsill.
I really hated his "plant a seed" comments. When I lived with my parents, MANY years ago, my dad and I would start perusing seed catalogs just after Christmas. We'd get seeds and start planting together - same seeds, same planting media, same location. It never failed, his grew, mine died. I can grow from seedlings, roots, anything but actual seeds. I truly admire anyone who farms.
In case anyone doesn't know why you mentioned heirloom, I'd like to add: If seeds are labeled heirloom or open-pollinated, if you save the seeds at the end of your harvest, the plants from those seeds will be the same as what you grew. If you get hybrid seeds, the resulting seeds will revert to something different.
My local garden store has heirloom seeds, and I've seen them at Home Depot, too. They are running out, but also being restocked (in my town anyway) so it's worth going back if they are out.
When I went to Home Depot last week, the garden center was full of people wanting to do projects. What else is there to do?
They probably moved those huge seed racks in front of the entrance to their garden department since they don’t want to have people getting non essential things.
It’s still government over reach.
I'm pretty new to gardening, the few times I tried it in the past it all went to crap. What I'm trying now is very simple hydroponics, there's plenty of videos on youtube how to do it and it seems very simple and fool proof.

You can still buy seeds, just not there.
You can still buy seeds.
Correct but the fact that they deemed it non essential is the issue... government over reach...
