I won't buy anything related to Direct Gardening. Their plants and policies suck. They have a variety of catalogs so look for the address so be sure and watch the addresses too.

My favorite company is Baker Rare Seeds out of Missouri. They have open pollinated organic seeds. I don't plant hybrids because I do save seed. However, I do plant a variety of plants and seeds and do use other companies. Happy Planting!
