Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hi Janaki, I've ordered sprouting seeds and supplies from these 2 places and it worked out okay: www.sproutpeople.com Located in WA so quick shipping and low costs www.sprouting.com Located in Canada so the border crossing slows down shipments a bit Garden seeds come from different places than sprouting seeds. For several reasons, I order a lot from www.territorial-seed.com They are located on the wet side of the Cascades and specialize in seeds that do well here. They have a fair amount of open pollinated seed and some organic seed. They have a fair amount of helpful information online. The other place I commonly order gardening seeds and supplies from is Peaceful Valley Farm Supply in California www.groworganic.com May your day be filled with clarity, grace, progress, and warm laughter, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Roger (or anyone else who knows), Any suggestion for seed and sprout resources in here in the Eastern lands of West Virginia? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi Nick, For mail ordering, the links I shared are useful for most people in North America. There aren't that many places selling sprouting seeds, and most have a small choice of seeds. The two I shared as sources for sprouting seeds are the best I found in North America. Territorial Seeds has a lot of vegetable seeds useful for everybody. Here are a couple seed sources I like that have useful information and an interesting assortment of seeds: www.bountifulgardens.org www.pioneer-net.com/psr/homepage.html Here are additional online sources of open pollinated seeds. Likely you can find what you want in the 6 sources that are in the top 20 on http://gardenwatchdog.com www.skilledwright.com/openpollinated.htm Even if you aren't particularly interested in saving seed, and don't need to have open pollinated seed, the places selling open pollinated seed tend to be more focused on the home food grower rather than the commercial food grower, and are really serious about helping people raise their own food. May your day be filled with clarity, grace, progress, and warm laughter, Roger - " Nick Hein " <nick.hein <RawSeattle > Tuesday, March 08, 2005 5:10 PM Re: [RawSeattle] sprouting seeds and supplies > > Roger (or anyone else who knows), > Any suggestion for seed and sprout resources in here in the Eastern lands of > West Virginia? > > Thanks. > Nick > > > > > Hi Janaki, > > I've ordered sprouting seeds and supplies from these 2 places and it > worked out okay: > > www.sproutpeople.com Located in WA so quick shipping and low costs > > www.sprouting.com Located in Canada so the border crossing slows down > shipments a bit > > > > Garden seeds come from different places than sprouting seeds.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 David, Thanks so much for the links! We are in a new (to us) house on a lot that is mostly clay, I want to make this the year we get the garden going (probably with raised beds). Blessings.....

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Nick - I did square foot gardening last year and loved it! The amount of produce that came out of those 4' x 4' squares was amazing and I can put them anywhere in the yard. This year I'm adding 8 new 1' x 4' boxes for sweet peas, eating peas, and tomatoes. They are so convenient and it's a no brainer for laying out plans for vegetables.
