Would you all like to share where you get your seeds? Favorite websites
and/or catalogs?

I tend to get most of mine through three different suppliers:

Pinetree Seeds
Smaller packets, so less cost per packet. I've got a fairly
small garden, so I don't need huge amounts of each seed. This
way I also get to try more varieties. This is my main supplier.

Kitazawa Seeds
My choice for Asian varieties. Not a huge collection, but
quality. I only get a few favorite varieties since I'm the
only one in my aquaintance who likes Asian vegetables. One
exception is a variety of green onions that *everybody*
likes - Evergreen White Nebuka.

John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds
Several gourmet varieties of seeds I like that are hard
to find elsewhere. I usually only get 10-12 packets each
year from them. I like their Ambition Shallots. They've
got several collections for specific purposes such as
Summer Salad Garden and the like. Nice way to try some
new varieties along with old favorites.

I used to buy quite a bit from Park's but have cut back
to just a few varieties like their burpless cucumber.
I got their catalog this year and will probably make a
small order.

I also stop by a semi-local farm store for bulk items
such as seed potatoes and onion sets and Blue Lake
Bush bean seeds that I tend to buy just before planting
time.

Speaking of catalogs, I must have gotten on someone's
list big time this year. I've been deluged with over
a dozen catalogs from companies I've never bought from
before. It's overwhelming! I've browsed through several
of them, but when you find only one or two varieties
you'd like to use, a lot of your gardening budget ends
up going to multiple shipping and handling fees. So
unless I find something *very* special, I'll be sticking
to my regular suppliers this season.

Happy Gardening!
