>Red Wagon Plants (Hinesburg)

Thanks, some good ideas in there. I've gotten lots of good veggie starts from GreenHaven, but I usually try to get my seed purchases done before they open in the spring. In that area, I've also gotten good starts from Pine Tree Gardens in Bristol.

Thanks. Are there any local places you want to mention, that carry less common things?

That was my original hope for this thread - where do you go when you want to browse interesting seed packets in person. I mentioned a couple places in Middlebury, and others brought up Gardener's Supply as well as a place in Bethel.

I hadn't seen Baker Creek before - they look great! Lots of interesting varieties, and free shipping with no minimum.

I've done some of that. Generally went well, but maybe 10% of the time I thought the seeds weren't great (poor germination). You've gotta be a trusting soul when you get those tiny little ziplocs with no writing on them, not even a date...

Brussels Sprouts - I'm keeping my eye out for Diablo or Jade Cross. Have seen them recommended by a couple northern writers.

Winter squash - looking for a decent-tasting C. moschata since I've got borers. Waltham butternut does well, just want something else for variety.

Sounds like I need to put Gardener's Supply on my list when I get up north.

I order online when I can get most of what I want from the same place. But for those last couple things on the list - you either pay annoyingly high shipping for 1-2 packets, or else try to find something locally.

Helpful, thanks

Good idea about checking the High Mowing store list. Places that sell their stuff might be likely to have other interesting things.
