Thanks. I was going to try finding that thread but didn’t know how.

Johnny’s in Maine has high quality control, as does Harris. They both cater to farms but offer retail volume too. Personally I find Johnnys higher priced, but they are good to work with in the Northeast.
Check out Holmes and Rupp (I’ll bet they are both run by conservatives) and finally Tomato Growers for an unmatched tomato list.

Ditto on Baker Creek.
Wide variety of heirloom, informative site /catalog and good service.
I bought most of my seeds for TEOTWAWKI stash there.

Home Garden Packet is one dollar each plus one dollar handling.
Used some Jicama seeds from them—still need a green thumb.

I second the vote for Johnny’s in Maine.
They grow all their own seeds, and I have found them to be much more reliable than many of the other big seed companies. You can’t go wrong with them.

I can’t find short day sweet corn other than via the Hawaiian sources. Ideas?

They have a very awkward way to order. ie, Send a check first.

The Lowes in N Texas have a good selection of regular seed, non-GMO seed, and organic seed. Try your area.

I find mostly Burpee seeds in retail stores (not a big fan) but I’ll take a look.

Is that tomato heat and drought tolerant?
And I mean blast-furnace heat.

Pinetree Seeds is pretty good. Pretty good selection, decent prices and prompt shipping. I bought a bunch of seed from them last year and it all did very well except for the Minicore carrots. Don't know what happened to them, maybe it was my fault.

In my experience, carrots need deeply tilled, friable soil. It’s almost impossible to get it like that in my hard clay Texas soils.

For oriental varieties and basic good quality seed my wife and I use: Kitazawaseed.com based out of Oakland.
