SEED CATALOGS IN FEBRUARY: MEMBER RECOMMENDATIONS
All of us have favorite seed catalogs. What’s one of yours? (These notes come from email, newsletter articles and conversation.)
Anna Kurz: If you start flowers and vegetables from seed, you can’t go wrong with Charles Hart Seed Company, a 100-year-old, family owned and operated business, specializing in untreated and non-GE (genetically engineered) seed. Hart support independent, local nurseries by refusing to sell to big box and discount stores. ( hartseed.com/ .)
Pat Fromm: A great time to peruse seed catalogs for spring planting. Thought some of you may find something of interest in this one: Siskiyou Seeds (http://siskiyouseeds.com .)
Pat Libutti thinks that the best seeds are those wrapped by Seeds for Change. Besides the commitment to safe seeds, the packets have zip-lock closings (http://www.seedsofchange.com/ .)
Doug Raska: Pinetree Gardens: amazing array of herbs https://www.superseeds.com/
Joe Papa l usually buy OP (open pollinated )seeds. My favorites are Johnny’s Selected Seeds (http://www.johnnyseeds.com), Tomato Growers ( www.tomatogrowers.com) and Seed Saver’s Exchange (www.seedsavers.org/.)
Robyn Lowenthal: I like Harris Seeds. They offer a wide variety of seeds and give very detailed germinating/growing out information for home gardeners and commercial operations.

Robin Jackson: I love to read through the following catalogs: Hudson Valley Seed Library
( hudsonvalleyseed.com/ ) and Kitazawa (source for Asian vegetable seeds) (http://www.kitazawaseed.com.)
