| I get seeds from a lot of different sources. Here are a few of them... JOHNNY'S SELECT SEEDS Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds SEED SAVERS EXCHANGE TERRITORIAL SEEDS Sand Hill Preservation Center VICTORY SEEDS THE SAMPLE SEED SHOP (THE PLACE TO GO FOR LOW PRICES) There are some eBay sellers who sell bulk seeds at great prices too which is where I get things like beat and carrot seeds. |

| I have ordered from several places but one that I really like is Pinetree Seeds https://www.superseeds.com/ They have seeds of plants that are grown all over the world like the Middle East and Latin America. |
|
| Native Seed Search is an Az seed source which sells varieties well adapted to our climate. I also buy from Baker Creek, Seed Savers Exchange, Victory and Landreth Seeds. |

| Fun posts! I buy plenty of common stuff from local nurseries and big box stores, and I do a lot of seed/plant swapping too. For catalog/online places I like Burpee, Park Seed, Select Seeds, Baker Creek (fantastic beautiful catalog), Thompson and Morgan, and JL Hudson. I buy most plants locally but also do a lot of plant trades, plus purchases from High Country Gardens, Select Seeds (they do plants too), Annie's Annuals, and my favorite Plant Delights. Oh, and ebay.com too for plants and seeds. Happy sowing and growing everyone, |

| I got the last batch - some summer squash, onions, carrots, and chile negro, from Summerwinds nursery. I still have a lot of seeds from Baker Creek - leafy greens, chard, oriental greens, and some tomatoes. Okra - I saved some seeds. |

| Mostly Native Seeds/SEARCH in Tucson. I've planted watermelon, 3 kinds of tomatoes, 2 kinds of chiles, garbanzos, and peas and have had 100% germination so far. Plus, I like that the varieties are relatively native and adapted to our climate. |
|
| I found Artistic Gardens.They have sample seed packets for 35 cents each. It's a great way to try things you might or might not like without investing a lot of money. They also have larger packets for about $1. |
|
| Bountiful Gardens and Abundant Life Seeds have a good variety of heat tolerant vegetables. Abundant Life has a great selection of Heat tolerant lettuces. |
