  Andrew V. asked:

  I would like to plant an open pollinated garden this year. Is there a good place to buy seed? I am partial to items I have heard of from the old timers. Also do you all think or feel there is a difference in open pollinated and heirloom? So many heirloom vegetable varieties I have never heard of.

  Sorry if this has been covered but wanting to prepare for garden 2015. Where can I find GMO free seeds to plant?

  

  Katie O. replied:

  Bakers Creek, Seed Savers, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, Annie's Heirloom Seeds...there's lots. Mother Earth News has a list of preferred seed companies. Just Google and it will come up.

SO... hey guys im looking for some real suggestions. Thanks in advance!!! Which seed companies would you recommend? - Jeremy

  

  Cathryn O. replied:

  heirloomseeds.com, rareseeds.com, both are good places to start.

  I echo others - Johnny's, Sow True, and the rest named above are wonderful. We got almost all our seeds this year from Annie's Heirloom Seeds, and I'm really pleased with the germination I've had from them even in colder indoor temps.

  Baker Heirloom Seeds

  

  Meredith S. replied:

  I need to try Baker Creek and Sow True this year. Johnny's hands down, though, you can't go wrong - high germination and strong sturdy plants. Peaceful Valley's seeds are wimpy. Seeds of Change, D Landreth and High Mowing are also ver good. http://www.heirloomseeds.com/ has some nice old varieties that nobody else seems to carry, and a lot of herbs, too.

  Lori M. asked:

  Does anyone have a favorite seed company they order from? I'm new to gardening in Alaska (as of last year) and I'm finding not all seeds are created equal here... Thanks!

  

  Leslie S. replied:

  I learned about heirloom varieties from reading the info from several of the best companies like Bakers Creek, Seed Savers, Territorial, Southern Exposure, etc. They put out the best catalogs and have the most online information about each type. But I order from a small family operation called www.heirloomseeds.com They only accept orders online, but I save a lot of money with them and their germination rates are fabulous! They only sell heirlooms. No GMOs, no hybrids, and you can get the seeds for organic only at a slightly higher price. If you are new to gardening, you might do best with hybrid varieties, though. There is nothing wrong with them, they usually have more vigor, better production, and just plain easier to grow. You just can't save their seeds and expect the offspring to be the same as the parent plant.
