5. I'm less happy with Seeds of Change since they were sold

They're owned by Mars (yes, the candy people), and I haven't been happy with their new packaging.

Despite the fact that they're owned by Burpee, I like Totally Tomatoes for their selection - and I've gotten good germination rates from 4 year old seeds I had around. I like Seeds from Italy (aka growitalian.com) since I live in a similar climate so their seeds do well here. Burpee's is reliable but a tad pricey. My overall favorite is the wonderfully eccentric J.L.Hudson, Seedsman - a limited selection of vegetables, but prices are good and they carry some things I don't see anywhere else.

I like Johnny's, but their prices are a little high. Southern Exposure has also been good...... dmosh42 Apr 2013 #8
