Seed Sources?

15 years ago

Hi again- I was wondering where you all get your seeds? I'm still in Tx, making the supply and type very different, so I expect to have to mail order, but I am characteristically impatient when I get excited about something, therefore I'm wanting to start collecting my stock soon. Any pointers?

I order from Fedco's and Baker's Creek, because they do not support businesses that sell genetically modified seeds.

I don't know if you'll have a garden ready when you move? I would suggest you plan on planting in plastic pots until you get your soil prepared, which does take a season. Visit the NC Coop Extension service online for recommendations for coastline plants (marine influence). Many do not do as well there as ours do in the middle of the State. You could also check out the Southeastern Coastal Gardening Forum on the GW.
