I knew most of these but there were a few new ones to try out.
The groundhog said an early Spring. Sure hope he's right!

I buy Renee's and Ferry-Morse seed at retail locations because of the varieties and reliability of the seed freshness.

(6,581 posts)I would add Gourmet Seeds International as a great source for all kinds of oddball European and Asian vegetables. Plus Kitazawa for Asian seeds.

(10,646 posts)They're owned by Mars (yes, the candy people), and I haven't been happy with their new packaging.
Despite the fact that they're owned by Burpee, I like Totally Tomatoes for their selection - and I've gotten good germination rates from 4 year old seeds I had around. I like Seeds from Italy (aka growitalian.com) since I live in a similar climate so their seeds do well here. Burpee's is reliable but a tad pricey. My overall favorite is the wonderfully eccentric J.L.Hudson, Seedsman - a limited selection of vegetables, but prices are good and they carry some things I don't see anywhere else.

(2,217 posts)I dealt with Territorial for the last couple years, but then they sent me a mis labeled seed pack that caused me to have to use a tiller to remove whatever they were. Big mistake! I found a new company, also in Maine, called 'Pinetree' garden seeds, Can't vouch for the quality yet, but prices are good.
