Where to Get the Best Seeds for Your Garden

Are you as excited as I am about starting a garden? On of the very best things about winter in my opinion, is garden planning and seed purchasing! I will be sharing with you today where to get the best seeds for your garden and what varieties I have chosen.

No matter what size garden you choose to have, buying quality seeds and starting them yourself, has many benefits. See what I have picked out for this year’s garden!

Every year, shortly after I put my garden to bed for the winter, I am already dreaming of the next season. What will I grow? Where can I fit a new bed? Shall I finally put in an asparagus bed, or should I add some strawberry plants?

But the most important question (well, the most fun anyway) is always where will I get my seeds and what varieties will I grow this year?

Nothing cheers my winter days as much as seeing seed catalogs arriving in the mailbox!

Are you old fashioned like me and love to get paper catalogs? It is just the best to cuddle up with hot tea and a blanket in the cold months and dream of your warm, sunny garden days ahead. It is such a hopeful act. I usually plot out my garden plans with the help of paper catalogs, it is harder for me to get an idea of what I want strictly from the website.

Varieties of Seeds I Have Bought For This Year

I have been stalking my local stores, waiting for the seed displays to come back. It has finally happened at Lowe’s, and so I grabbed a handful of Seeds of Change organic seeds there and some I had bought earlier this fall at Tractor Supply.

Seeds of Change Organic : Sugar Pod 2 snow pea, Jade bean, Shishito pepper, Black Beauty eggplant, Yellow Pear tomato, San Marzano tomato (paste), Red Russian kale, Early Green broccoli, Red Acre cabbage, Evergreen bunching onion, Fordhook chard, Hale’s Best Jumbo muskmelon,Butternut squash, Spaghetti winter squash, Mixed Seashell cosmos (mix of pinks, purples and whites), and chia for sprouting indoors.

Every year I seem to like to try a new place or two and this year I chose Botanical Interests. My cute Mommy green-thumb ordered their catalog and we were both swept with the lovely hand drawn illustrations and ended up ordering from them.

They send such a lovely package of seeds, with a velum paper over top and the packets are beautiful, it’s like receiving a gift! Now, if they are great quality seeds and make happy gardeners, we will find out… I will update y’all about them after the growing season! But this is what I got from there…

Botanical Interests : Shin Kuroda carrot, French Breakfast radish,Red Sails leaf lettuce, Rosette bok choy tatsoi, Toy Choy bok choy, Sunstripe summer squash, Tasty Green cuke, Honeynut squash, Kentucky Wonder pole bean, Clancy potato, Cherokee Purple pole tomato, Tetra dill, Queeny Orange Lime zinnia, Jewel Blend nasturtium,Peach Melba nasturtium.

And lastly (so far, hehe) are some seeds from High Mowing that I ordered last summer, when I was planning on doing a more robust fall planting. That didn’t go well, but I will make use of those lovely seeds this year!

High Mowing – Winter Density romaine lettuce, White Stemmed pac choy, Giant Winter spinach, Daikon radish, Early Jalapeno hot pepper.
