Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Robert Monie <bobm20001@yahoo.com>]

Hi Pat,

 

In addition to FEDCO be sure to check out these old favorites:

 

Frank Morton's seeds from http://www.wildgardenseed.com

Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds at http://www.rareseeds.com

George Stephen's Synergy Seeds at http://www.synergyseeds.com

Sow Organic at http://www.groworganic.com

 

Baker Creek is a good (often overlooked) source for bulk quantities of  Asian greens and Thai greens seeds; Frank Morton may be unrivalled as a source for lettuce varieties; and Synergy sells a number of rare grain varieties (particularly buckwheat), though usually in small amounts rather than bulk. Sow Organic has some nice yacons and other rare things, some from Alan Kapular's Peace Seed Collection.
