Mavis (goodreadscomhavebookwilltravel) | 3 comments I grew sunflowers for the first time last year, and some seeds saved.
They are a 5-6' sunflower called '' Strawberry Blonde'' .

Rowan | 1 comments Anybody have a favorite seed company? I love unique varieties and I'd really like to see if anyone has some good companies for unique corn or beans in particular. I have found some cool corn from native seeds and sustainable seed co, http://sustainableseedco.com/Organic-... but I feel like there has got to be more options out there!! Thanks

Don K. | 4 comments We use several sources:

-- Johnny's (http://www.johnnyseeds.com/) for commercial varieties that grow well in northern climes

-- Fedco (https://www.fedcoseeds.com/), a cooperative, for potatoes and trees

-- Seed Savers Exchange (http://www.seedsavers.org/) for heirloom seeds

Seed Savers Exchange sells seeds, but it also serves as a clearinghouse for individual members who save seeds and make them available to other gardeners at a nominal cost. These individual members list their products by variety in an enormous annual catalog. The average seed catalog lists a few dozen tomato varieties while the Seed Savers Exchange lists hundreds of tomato varieties.
