"The Seed Lady" Anne Hudson at Hudsons Hardware in Garner.
Anna Hudson has been working at Hudson's Hardware store for over fifty years and let me tell you she knows her seeds.
Ms. Anna has an area in the store where she takes the seeds from local supplier Wyatt-Quarles and measures them out to 1/4pound, 1/2 pound whatever size you need. She has every type of seed grown locally you could imagine and not only that she knows how to grow them and is more than happy to offer advise on planting, soil fertilizer, quantity etc.
I have a tendency to kill any vegetables I grow and I learned more from Ms Hudson about growing veggies than any book I've read. She is a treasure trove of information and is not going to sell you something if the time is not right, today I was looking at yellow squash and she said "wait till the 15th!".
So I have my potatoes in, onions, sweet peas, lettuce, broccoli carrots....lets see with the expert helping me, if I can get something to eat this year.
Hudson's Hardware is located at 305 Benson Road in Garner NC 27529. The phone number is 919-772-4141. They have a second location in Clayton at 77 Amelia Church Road, Clayton NC 27520 919-553-3030.
Hudson's carries a wide range of gardening and landscape supplies. They are an authorized dealer and service center for Stihl, Echo, Kowler, Kawaski, just to name a few.
Sam and Anna Hudson opened the garner store in 1958, in 1985 their son Leigh opened the Clayton store. If you have a question about your garden, flowers, shrubs bring it to Ms Anna Hudson and she'll take care of you.
I would like to help you sell your house, or help you buy a house.

Those look like VERY healthy tomato plants. I'd love to have a neighbor like Anna!
Local experts are so cool! I love to garden, and I go to our local nursery for advice and stuff.
Pat: She is amazing and knows her stuff inside out.
Leslie: She retired some twenty years ago and forgot to stop coming in.
