Favorite seed sources

18 years ago

My coworkers and I are eagerly awaiting planting season for veggies. Can you all share your favorite seed suppliers?

I love Tomato Growers Supply, and ECHO, and I thought I had bought a bunch of cool stuff last year from Johnny Sheppers (?) but I can't find that web site.

Looking for veggie seeds of plants that do well here in the humid/rainy/drought-ridden/hot/cold Florida mid season.(G)

I gave away nearly all my seeds to a friend that moved to Alabama. So I need more! I'd like to try cukes again, along with the other regulars.

Great thread. Definitely TGS-Tomato Growers Supply right here in Fort Myers for my tomato seeds and supplies. I also order from Park Seeds. Got all my seeds ordered for fall and cannot wait!

Lisa, John Scheepers is where I get many of my Amaryllis, they are primarily bulbs. There's Johnny seeds who are quite popular...

Lisa-meant to add...

Some of us are doing a tomato seed exchange if you want some seeds Lisa. I may also have some extra Cuke seeds (fresh) to share this fall.

I just ordered a bunch of Asian veggie seeds. Many of these are similar to or the same as our veggies, just under different names. I think the site was evergreenseeds.com ?
They say that all their offerings are for mild to subtropical climates, so something should work. I'll report back to let you all know if anything takes off!

southern seed exchange. great company, great seeds. with the exception of tomatoes, i get all my seeds from them.

gary--are you looking for slicing tomatoes? the smaller ones tend to do a bit better here (goose creek and tiffany are reliable)... as far as larger tomatoes go: i had good luck tho with purple cherokee, and an experienced friend recommended cabarnet. both of them are available through tgs.

I'd like to second the recommendation of Southern Exposure Seed Exchange - they list quite a lot of information about each variety, and specialize in open-pollinated seeds. Their prices are fair, though it's really hard to beat free/trade/postage.
