December 28, 2005 - Seed Catalogs

I've had a couple of requests to know what seed catalogs we get and order from so here are some that we've gotten recently, along with their websites so you can go request a catalog for yourself:

 

Pinetree Gardens -- has a *lot* of neat varieties.  This is the main place I ordered from when we had a smaller garden.  I still order a couple of things from them.  http://www.superseeds.com/

 

Johnny's Selected Seeds --- Tons of selection - they have two different catalogs, the home gardening catalog and a growers catalog if you are growing for resale and need larger quantities of seed.   They carry some heirlooms and organics.  We order a lot from Johnny's.  http://www.johnnyseeds.com/

 

Territorial Seed Company -- Also has two catalogs, home gardener and growers.  We order a lot from Territorial too.  They carry some heirlooms and organics.  www.territorialseed.com

 

The Cook's Garden  -- Can be kind of pricey sometimes but carries many unusual varieties and their catalog is just plain fun to look through, even if you don't end up ordering.  They carry quite a few heirloom and organic seeds.  www.cooksgarden.com

 

R.H. Shumway -- Carries quite a few heirlooms, some you don't see in other catalogs.  I've noticed that they carry more hybrids now that they they've been bought out and I've heard bad stories about their customer service since they've been bought out too but I haven't had any problems with them yet.  Their prices are good too.  I usually order a few things from them.  www.rhshumway.com

 

Stokes -- Also has two different catalogs (home garden/growers).  We order from Stokes too.  They don't have a lot of unusual  varieties and not a lot of untreated seeds.  They do have a very good selection of flower seeds if you're into cut flower growing and they have all the standard vegetable varieties that you hear about.  www.stokeseeds.com

 

Totally Tomatoes -- This is the first year I've seen this catalog but it looks great!!!  The whole catalog is tomatoes and peppers - heirloom, open pollinated, hybrid any variety you can imagine.  If you're a tomato or pepper fanatic you'll like this one.  www.totallytomato.com

 

Burpee -- We ordered a lot from them when we had a small garden but their prices are higher than a lot of other companies.  They have been around a long time though and are a reliable and respected company and have good quality.  www.burpee.com

 

Peaceful Valley --  Has some nice seeds and equipment and they specialize in organics.  www.groworganic.com

Thanks a lot! I just ordered a bunch of catalogs from most of these companies. In the past I have just bought from local places, but would rather do more organic/heritage gardening.

For anyone else who is interested, I also found some good info on this topic in the Dec./Jan. 2006 issue of Mother Earth News.

I read your blog this morning and after reading it I just got a cool calendar that I thought people here might be interested in. I don't think I would have even posted it if you didn't post this.
