With the Amazon Prime Big Deals Days soon coming to an end, I'm turning my attention to stocking up on the smaller items for my garden. It can be easy to be whisked away by discounts on garden tools and machinery this sales period, but it's also the perfect opportunity to get your essentials together, like seeds.

There's a lot of planting on our fall gardening checklists and it can become pricey having to purchase so many seeds. That's why I'm ecstatic to have found a real gem buried in the Amazon sale – a selection of 35 types of heirloom vegetable seeds for just $20. This is a particularly great deal to snag for a new veggie grower like me, setting me up with seeds to not only plant now but also in spring.

Even if you've had a kitchen garden for many years this is a bargain to get your hands on, replenishing your stock ready for another abundant year. You can have confidence in the quality of these seeds, too, as this best-selling Amazon vegetable seeds selection has a 4.7 star rating from 8K buyers who share they've had '100% germination' success.

It's obvious that the incredible 48% off on this Amazon vegetable seed selection is a bargain, working out at roughly 58 cents per seed packet. But, it isn't just the value for money buyers are pleased with.

'This was the PERFECT plant starter kit. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to get into planting or even to gift to someone!' one five-star reviewer writes.

It's a great selection for beginners just starting a vegetable garden and needing to start their stock from scratch. For real novices, these are user-friendly seed packets:

'Different seeds are packed in separate envelopes just like the pictures,' a buyer explains, with each seed packet containing essential information on how to grow the vegetables.

Speaking of the selection, buyers are satisfied with the wide range of seeds included, stating there are 'a large a varied amount.'

Not only are there root vegetables and classic crops, this Amazon vegetable seed selection also includes staples for a herb garden, like basil.

It seems you can easily avoid the seed sowing mistake of using poor quality seeds with this selection, too, as reviewers note their success with these seeds:

'These seeds produced over a hundred plants per package. Produce is great in growth and quality,' one shopper shares.

'Everything sprouted and has grown amazingly! One month in and I'm already harvesting,' another adds.

It's hard to find a downside to this vegetable seeds deal, with customers raving about the quality, value, and success of them.

The fact you can't select the best choices of seeds for your local climate does make it tricky to judge how much success you will have, but with 35 seeds for just $20, it's well-worth taking the risk. Plus, the selection seems to have options for every circumstance and hardiness zone.

When do you plant vegetable seeds?

When you plant vegetables depends on the type of seeds you're sowing and it can even vary depending on variety, as well as your US hardiness zone.

Vegetables to plant in October include shallots, broccoli, and winter lettuce. Meanwhile, vegetables to plant in May include pumpkins, chard, and leeks.

You can also grow some vegetables indoors at any point in the year, for example you can grow green onions indoors and grow carrots indoors. However, this does rely on you having the right set-up and choosing the right varieties, often those that are more compact and can be grown in pots.

Ultimately, there are lots of different factors that go into when you sow vegetable seeds. The good news is, this makes vegetable growing versatile – there's an option for any kind of space and climate.

That's what makes this wide Amazon vegetable seed selection so great, providing lots of options and keeping you stocked up for a number of growing seasons.

You will need some other kit to help you make your vegetable growing a success. For example, these seed trays with humidity domes from Amazon, this seed starting soil from Amazon, and this seedling watering bottle from Amazon.


I can't wait to kick my vegetable patch up a notch with this vast variety of seeds. If you are new to growing your own crops, check out our guides to sowing seeds outdoors and sowing seeds indoors to help you have a successful endeavour.
