Today I buy new vegetable seeds. Most of them are organics and certified by BIO-Hellas. I think it’s difficult to find many certified organic seeds in Greece, but ok you can find some of them. Maybe it’s difficult for me to find them, because I live in big city. People can’t plant vegetables in big cities here.

I buy these seeds for my plot.
