Have you ever stepped out of a brightly lit building and looked up at the stars? At first you see only a few of the very brightest ones and, gradually, as your eyes become accustomed to the light, more and more magically appear in the night sky until soon there are more than you can count, more than you could have imagined. Well, it’s the same with seeds: when you first begin to grow from seed you see and recognize the common everyday ones, Early Girl tomatoes, Kentucky Wonder green beans, California Wonder bell peppers, but soon, as you begin your exploration of the seed universe, you become aware of the spectacular diversity and variety of available seed. How can we resist wanting to sample a bit of the breathtaking bounty? When you combine that curiosity with the immutable fact of our challenging climate it only makes sense to pursue the search for the perfect seed. The following is a listing of some interesting seed sources we like to use. If you know of other out-of-the-ordinary sources please let us know at (growifcga@gmail.com) and we will try to include them in the next update of the site. Listings in boldface are our favorites.
