| Favorite seed catalogs? | Hot Conversation |
I can’t wait for spring! My Burpee seed catalog arrived so I’m planning my garden while I wait for warmer, greener days. What’s your favorite seed catalog? I need to order more!

You are saying we should find out as much as possible about how he was raised?
Any specific advise on doing that?
I would absolutely love to read your Be Brave, Lose the Beige pdf. I'm in a transition and can use all the enouragement I can get to have fun!! Thank you so much!
I have loved Coldwater Creek designs for many years. I am disappointed to find so few products now that are made of natural fibers (cotton, wool, silk, linen). A bit of Spandex is fine but not a high percentage of synthetics (polyester, rayon. acexcuse the above typos!Does anyone shop at Dressbarn? I have recently moved to the US and I really like this store, I can find fashionable clothes at good prices which are never to low on the chest and are the right length. I don't want to lrt it all hang out but then neit
Here are some of my favorites:
Johhny’s Seeds. This is the all-time most reliable source for all kinds of vegetable and flower seeds, including organic seeds and pelleted seeds (which make it a lot easier to grow some lettuces, carrots, etc.).Look for the yellow “highlights” they use to show the seeds that are the most reliable and easiest to cultivate. They are the best.
Another catalog that is fun to look at for organic seeds is Seeds of Change
And another reliable source is Select Seeds for a broad variety of heirloom seeds.
I love two great operations that preserve and sell heirloom seeds:
The first is Seed Savers Exchange, great source of seeds you can’t find elsewhere.
If you live in the South (like I do), a regional version is Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, which is a tremendous resource for heat-loving vegetables like lima beans, tomatoes, okra, beans, melons, and more.
These are the catalogs I order from most often, but I’m dying to hear from others what they use and love. Thanks for a great question!

Thanks for all the great links. I am starting to plan my first attempt at a vegetable garden so this will be perfect.
Hi there,
I like Territorial Seed company’s catalogue.. they are in Oregon. Also, someone mentioned Seeds of Change.. that’s another great one.
Tomato Growers Supply Company at 12165 Metro Parkway, Ft. Myers Florida 33912 Phone 239-768-1119 is the best ever. I do not like to pay the prices of “picked green” tomatoes at the store when I can grow vine ripe right on the patio or in the garden. Taste is where it is at.
I totally agree! They are so helpful when called upon for information. I like it as they also have seeds for Toms that will grow well in this Florida heat and not split wide open.
I like all ones mentioned above, but also find Totally Tomatoes to be great. They have a lot of heirloom tomatoes and, despite the name, they also have peppers and other heat lovers.
Seeds of Change
They’re not seeds, but I love Brecks!
Kitazawa Seed Company has to be my absolute favorite! Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, this company began distributing Japanese vegetable seeds 92 years ago. They have evolved to offer more than 300 varieties of seeds from China, Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, India, and the United States. Each item has an informative paragraph, plus there are some fantastic recipies included. Their seeds are high quality and their service is great. I would love to hear what other gardeners think about this resource.
