List of Seed Companies

I was making a list for my own use and I just thought I would post here for anyone else to use. If anyone has feedback on any of these companies I am sure that would be welcome. And if you know of a company that I haven't listed feel free to add it.

I've used jJohnnySeeds since I started growing 2 years ago and am very happy with them.
Good quality seed and several varieties for the northern gardener.

Great Seed starting soil, too.

They sell the soil block makers so you don't have to start your small seedlings in pots. Excellent results with those as well, but I only have the 3/4" for starting seeds and 2" size for transplanting before I transplant larger plants into homemade 4"-6" air-pruning pots.
The large soil block maker is too darn expensive, over a hundred bucks.

I got healthy plants and quality seeds from TerritorialSeeds, as well.

No complaints about either company.

great idea!

here's what I have in my tableside garden file:

in ABC order:

What a neat list, BettyAnn! Haven't seen some of those before....

today i received my first 2011 seed catalogs.

thought it would be fun to put the web links as i receive them so folks can order a catalog, too.

totally tomatoes call toll free 1-800-345-5977 totally tomatoes

vermont bean seed company
call toll free 1-800-349-7333
vermont bean seed company

perhaps others can follow suit with the current offerings as they arrive? i know i don't remember all the places i requested catalogs from this year so it will be fun to get new offerings as well as the current catalog of whatever company i already had in my file to drool and dream over when there's snow and ice everywhere.

www.thompson-morgan.com - Thompson & Morgan, UK-based, but ship seeds to Europe.

www.suttons.co.uk -- Sutton's Seeds, also UKbased, also ships to Europe

www.willemsefrance.fr - Willemse, which I *think* is based in the Netherlands, but has great prices on seedlings AND seeds

I may try their artichoke seed www.westcoastseeds.com/

here's a new one for me:

Has anybody posted John Scheepers, Kitchen Garden Seeds, yet?

http://www.kitchengardenseeds.com/

I like their selection and seeds, their packets are OK, not great.

Another one is Botanical Interests, lots of interesting selections, big variety.

http://www.botanicalinterests.com/store/index_index.php

I've tried Gourmet Seeds. They have a nice selection, good seed, but really lousy packets. I've had a few of their packets split open while outside planting. Lost, scattered seed all over. Not a happy camper when that happens. Their packets have no pics, no description of the variety and only very general planting instructions for the veg.

Another brand I've found locally (haven't ordered on-line) is Seeds of Change. Have an excellent packet, nice photo of the specific variety, variety specific info on the pack including a description of that particular variety and RESEALABLE! By far my favorite packing for ease of use, info being handy, etc. The big drawback is price. They're more expensive than most.

Found it

http://www.seedsofchange.com/

They have 100% organic per their site and they have a big selection.
