Sources of Heirloom Seeds


Now that the holidays are over, I'm in full-blown rainy day gardening mode. My yard is a swamp, so I'm doing lots of armchair gardening. This year I'm going to try growing heirloom winter squash, so I've been looking for sources of heirloom seed online. Here are some of the best sites I found:

Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, http://www.rareseeds.com
Veggies, herbs, and flowers

Heirloom Seeds, http://www.heirloomseeds.com
Veggies, herb, and flower seeds

Rich Farm Garden Supply, http://www.richfarmgarden.com
Veggies, herbs, flowers, fruits; seeds and plants

Sand Hill Preservation, http://www.sandhillpreservation.com
Heirloom seeds and plants, as well as poultry

Seed Savers Exchange, http://www.seedsavers.org
Veggies, herbs, flowers, potatoes, garlic

Seeds Trust, http://www.seedstrust.com
Heirloom seeds, booklets on seed saving

Victory Seed Company, http://www.victoryseeds.com
Veggies, herbs, and flowers

If none of these meet your needs, check http://www.greenpeople.org/seeds.htm, a directory of organic and/or heirloom seed suppliers. Most of the suppliers listed are in the US and Canada, but a few overseas sources are included as well.
