I like Shumway, Gurney's and Johnny's for hybrids. Seed Savers and Baker Creek for heirloom.
Pretty much all these places will charge a high tariff for shipping. Gotta watch for sales and specials or just be really careful with when and what you order. |

Quoted: I'm a little new at this. Is there something special or times I should be aware of? No, just get on some seed houses mailing lists and watch if they have sales or shipping specials. They typically don't during peak seed season. From a more general point of view, understand that "heirloom seeds" will breed true and you can save seeds from this year's plants to plant next year. Hybrid seeds will not breed true and saving seeds from hybrid plants isn't a good use of time. Doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't plant hybrids......just that you can't effectively save the seeds. |
