   This is the busy season for the seed companies; everyone who gardens is   
   getting ready to plant. And I would guess that a lot of seed companies are   
   short on help as a lot of their people might be out due to virus fears.    
      
   My wife does her seed shopping in January and starts most of them in flats in   
   the greenhouse, so she beats the springtime rush. She wanted to buy something   
   additional last week and ran into the same problem you're having, the seeds   
   won't be available for    
   a month or two.    
      
   I think Songbird has the best solution; check your local garden and feed   
   stores to see what they have.
