This is the time of year when the garden starts to come to life... on paper of course. Time to plan out what will be grown and time to order the seeds that will make the garden come to fruition. Here, you can see my three favorite places to order seeds from. Johnny's Selected Seeds out of Maine has a great selection of cut flower varieties; this is where most of our seeds for the Cut Flower CSA will come from. Fedco Seeds is also out of Maine and are so unique. They are a true cooperative seed company. They also have one of my favorite catalogs; black and white newsprint with hand drawn illustrations and very witty descriptions. They make up for the lack of shiny photos with their whimsical prose. And last, but not least is Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. They are located in near-by Virgina, so their seeds are great for us here in Maryland as they are adapted more for our climate. All of these companies have a great selection of organic and non GMO seeds for our gardens.
If you are looking for seeds, check out these great catalogs for a little garden inspiration. We'll be well stocked with seeds at NCCS to grow plants for our Plant Sale and Cut Flower CSA!
