Maybe some day I will have the infrastructure that will allow me to start as early as you do! We grow many of the same varieties.
I've used Fedco for decades. Lower prices, more seed in packet, good quality seed usually. Next I use High Mowing because I try to get only organic seed so they are back up. I've also gotten seed from Terroir but long ago gave up on Burpee: not much organic and prices really high! Johnny's is a last resort, again, really high prices and not a lot of organic.
I did a serious price comparison of many companies several years ago. It's probably time to do it again, but not this year as I am so far behind...
I agree, the seed prices are very high. I don't buy from Johnny's anymore for that reason. MIgardener was pretty reasonable. I will have to check out Fedco as I have never heard of them. I don't buy much because I save seeds yearly from the plants I grow. I started with heirloom varieties so the seeds come pretty true year after year. It sure saves me a lot of money saving my own.
My problem is the inability to separate different varieties so seeds will come true. The gardens are just too close together.
Me too! But so far I've had great success in a small space and get great yields.
