I was at my local Lowes yesterday and they had on display a rack of assorted "organic" veggie seeds. I'm not sure what difference "organic" makes when it comes to seeds, the finished organically grown produce is what counts.

I am guessing that the OP may be in the Philippines or is at least Filipino. At least the term Pechay, better known as Bok Choy or Chinese Cabbage in the states, leads me to that conclusion. Possibly from the mountain city of Baguio...one of the few areas in the Philippines where it stays cool enough to grow cool weather crops like Pechay.

As rgreen stated, most of the US seed vendors offer organic seeds. Johnny's selected seeds, High Mowing seeds, Baker Creek, etc have very good selections. I'm not sure of the import/export regulations for sending seed from the US to the Philippines.

jacob7616, if you are not able to get organic seeds wherever you are, you could save your own seed. Conventional seed grown out by you using organic methods produces seed that is organic. It is relatively easy to save seed from lettuce, okra, and bok choy (your pechey?) You could grow your plants to seed stage and get enough seed to last for a few years, so it would not have to be a project that takes lots of room every year.

I've noticed people mention Baker Creek and organic seeds before. I don't see any organic varieties listed by them, never have, only lots of info that all are non-GMO varieties. That does not make them organic. I'm wondering if that is what is leading people to think BC carries organic seed, or if I am missing a section of their catalog.

Naturegirl - thanks for correcting my error! I guess I was equating heirloom/non-hybrid seed with organic. Actually I've only purchased organic seeds a couple times and that was on accident when I clicked on an organic offering from Johnny's rather than the non organic equivalent. Costs me an extra $0.45 each time.

Territorial Seed has an extensive list of organic vegetable seeds. However, okra and bok choy are not among them :-)

Southern Exposure Seed Exchange has organic seed and they list the germination rates on their packets. Just a couple of the reasons I love ordering from them.

Naturegirl- I honestly didn't know that about Baker Creek but then I haven't ordered from them or explored their site much. They are way too high in anti-GMO and anti-Monsanto propaganda for my liking. I will for sure be letting people know that they don't actually sell organic seed if a search reveals that to be true as I see people recommending them everywhere.

Edit: Well here ya go. Baker Creek isn't organically certified. https://www.rareseeds.com/service/faq/#39

High Mowing Organic Seeds has organic seeds. I've ordered from them before and had good luck with their seeds.
