My first order from Victory, won't be the last. I have a bookmark with

Not sure how well they play with you Southern folks, but Fedco Seeds
from Maine is well worth a look, IME, IMHO. Where there is overlap,
prices are MUCH nicer than Johhny's (but, they don't have nearly the
slick shiny color catalog business to support. They just recently got
web ordering - used to be mail in orders even from the website.)

I have Fedco bookmarked for some time, just have not ordered from them
as yet. I gave up on Johnny's Seeds after using them for several years.
The last two orders from them were really messed up, wrong seeds, etc. I
returned them and haven't ordered since.

I prefer buying seed from the small companies like Victory and Fedco
than buying from the big, high dollar catalogs that come in all the time
as I've had bad luck and bad seeds from some of them.

We save our own seeds on some heirloom plants we like. Seems to work
pretty good.
