I grew sunflowers for the first time last year, and some seeds saved.They are a 5-6' sunflower called '' Strawberry Blonde'' .
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
Depending on what you're looking for both Park Seeds and Burpee have quite a few options. I've had good results from both of those companies.
Some of my favorites include:- Southern Exposure Seed Exchange (http://www.southernexposure.com/)
- Roundstone Native Seed for native seeds (http://roundstoneseed.com/)
- Sow True Seeds (https://sowtrueseed.com/)
- Annie's Heirloom Seeds (http://www.anniesheirloomseeds.com/)
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.



If you have some left from last year, please share it with us :)
