I also want to give a shot out for Botanical Interest Seed Company! All of my seeds that (I didn't save from last season) came from them the past two years. I have had great success with their products! At Botanical Interests, not only is the seed inside our packets the highest quality available, their packets are designed (inside and out) to give you the information you need to be a more successful gardener!
- Over 500 high-quality varieties
- Many heirloom seed varieties
- A large selection of USDA Certified Organic seed varieties (learn more about organic seed)
- Guaranteed - the germination rate of every variety is tested before we package it
- All our seed is untreated
- No GMOs - we enthusiastically signed the SAFE SEED PLEDGE: We do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants

I've noticed some of our farming neighbors have already plowed up their gardens. I was wondering if you bought your seeds local because that is what I usually do. Seems like if one place I buy them at don't work then I get them at another place the next year. Problem is one store might not have this seed but they have this seed so I go to another store and get the seed the one store didn't have. Then the following year I can't remember which store I bought what from! lol I will give this seed company a good looksee! Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteYes its time to plow. Most seeds I save from year to year, that's the best, cheapest and easiest way to get your plants acclimated to your area! Seed saving is the easiest thing you will ever do and you won't forget where they cam from, lol!
DeleteThanks for sharing this. We are always concerned with what seeds we start with each year.
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoy your blog. We've nominated you for a Liebster Award.

We welcome you to this craziness Collen. Please share any thing you would like here.
DeleteSorry Colleen!
DeleteThe thing I miss most about living in the country is my garden! I just don't have room where I live now, but we always grow tomatoes. At least, I do have room for a few flowers. Great post. Enjoy your gardening. New follower from Let's Get Social. I love the title of your blog. :)

Thanks for following Kathy! I grew up in the country and now live in the city. If you have an area with soil or if you can build a raised bed, you can have a full out garden. Just check out what I have done in my little are on this blog!
DeleteLove the non GMO. I planted all through the winter here and want to try broccoli next year. Love the look of the seed packets too. I love them more than clothes catalogs.
ReplyDeleteI try to grow as long as I can but we have a few months I can't!
DeleteThanks for the recommendation. I always love learning about new sources for seeds. I just got my first seeds planted last week so I'm right up there on cloud 9 with you!
ReplyDeleteThey have not let me down! Good to hear from you!
DeleteI was able to get my hands dirty this past week too. I put in onions, peas, kale, lettuce, swiss chard, cabbage, and carrots. Hopefully some of it (if not all of it) will do well.
ReplyDeleteHello Lisa, Its so fun to get our hands dirty. I expect a report on all that comes up!
DeleteWe, too, have had success with Botanical Interest seeds (especially French filet beans)so this year we've purchased even more varieties. Jo @ Let's Face the Music
ReplyDeleteI have a good friend that works there, really like them!
DeleteThanks for the tips! I'm a VERY beginning gardener so these are so helpful. Thanks for linking up to Monday Funday!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping in!
DeleteSo much great seedling info!! Thanks so much for sharing with us this week at the Monday Funday link party!
ReplyDeleteTake care,

I'm so glad I read your post! I've been gardening for many years, but the past 2 I've really been wanting to get away from hybrids and start collecting my own seeds each fall. Unfortunately, it's really hard to find seeds that are heirloom, non-GMO, and that you can save seeds! I will definitely be looking into this! Thanks!

DeleteSo good to know that more folks are supporting the GMO and organic seed companies! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWe all need to try to do our part!
DeleteHi Clint!
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your family have been well. My BFF Michelle is visiting and we've been working in the dirt all week too. I try to buy from Botanical Interests and Baker Creek every year. I have the best success using their seeds. Have a GREAT week.
We are doing well! Nothing like spending time with loved ones in the dirt!
DeleteHi! I'm visiting from the Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop! Glad I found you, I'm your newest follower! I'm hoping to get my hands in the dirt this weekend (hopefully it isn't still too wet to till)!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you have stopped in. You will do just fine, gardening is very trial and error!

Will be there!
DeleteWonderful, I do appreciate you sharing this resource - can't wait to get some seeds started for our garden! I noticed at the Southeastern Flower Show most landscape designs had vegetables and herbs interwoven with landscape plants - great idea - I have precious little space myself!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
Kathy
