But this year I lucked out and got involved in a joint (organic) garden through my employer. Most of the seed has been committed to if not ordered, but as part of my contribution I’m filling in a few holes, and to that end have been trolling the organic/nonGMO/heirloom offerings.

The one which is giving me the hardest time (pick only ONE (1) melon??? Only one squash? Tomatoes … don’t even get me started … ) is Baker Creek Heirloom seeds (http://rareseeds.com/cart), because not only are they all organic non/GMO, but their choices are huge for most things. Since we’re just getting started I won’t know for a while how my choices will go, whether the seed the guy chose who is running the thing will suit, or any of a whole bunch of other questions, but I’ll get some beans and other odds and ends from them and see how it goes. They are spendy, but they really have a broad range of choices.

And some peas and beans from Territorial, old reliable friend :-) This far south we’ve missed the spring window for peas I think, but will give them a try in the fall, or I may even get crazy and plant some in semi shade and see how they do.

Seeds of Change is also a place which is hard to leave, but they don’t quite have what I want on this pass. Maybe next year, though. They have some nice offerings. I don’t know Fedco, but they sound like fun, and I love seed catalogues, so I’ll just drop in over there and nose around :-)

Will look forward to checking in and seeing how your season goes!

Heidi, thanks for the link. Ontario seeds would work wonderfully for us northern US gardeners. Great selection!

Cindy, I learned gardening from an elderly woman. That generation is a fountain of fantastic gardening info.
