Have a look at the site below by clicking the link

http://www.kokopelli-seeds.com/

It is a French website, but it is in English, they have thousands of varieties of vegetable seeds, that are all totaly organic and are all endangered species, and the majority are very unusual.

Because after reading an article, apparently the 10 big seed companies in the world, basicaly want you to buy their seeds and thats it, even the seeds they will be selling, will be sterile, that means no fresh seed for next year from your plants, hence you are forced to buy again, not a nice situation.

Try the site out, most packets of seeds are only a couple of Euro`s to buy, and you get a lot, and you are doing the world a favour, and to keep the process going, they would like you to send some of next years seeds to them, which they will distribute to 3rd world countries.

golfcourse don't let me talk you out of Princess, my biggest gripe about Princess is the cold weather behavior which IMO limits it to the Gulf Coast and desert southwest. Like I have said use a blend and there are a few with Princess in the blend. IF your local conditions are right for Princess it will dominate, if not one of the others will.

Exotic and tropical seeds are unique so the folks over on the Tropical forum might know the sources best. And many of the different exotics have their own forum too so check them out by plant name you are interested in. Oh and check out the Garden Baazar here too as many of the seed vendors have links and info posted there. Few of the more common seed vendors that often get discussed here and on the Rate & Review Vendors forum (check it out for ones to avoid) carry unusual seeds because of the low demand but one I have dealt with is http://www.rarexoticseeds.com Another is http://www.seedman.com/ I have had no problems with either of them in the past. It just all depends on what specific seeds you are looking for as some seed vendors are highly specialized. ;) Dave

where to buy seed garlic online?

The first answer to the OPs question was a suggestion for a business in Tx. Their site has plenty of info and carefully takes you through which kinds of garlics do well in different climates. The listed suppliers have various garlics and you can find the kind that will do best for you. I had previously bookmarked the gourmetgarlic site because they are low key, they are not pushing you to buy, buy, buy in every sentence, rather they present good info and if you wish you can then look into their suppliers.

Would you buy a rug online? A melancholy question
Q
Comments (41)
What a gorgeous kitty and how lucky she was to have such a nice long life with you. For big rugs I tend to buy at Pottery Barn because they are expensive and I like that I can take them back in case I don't like them. PB rugs are hit or miss in my experience - 50% have been fantastic and worn great and the other 50% had a weird extreme shedding problem and I return them. For smaller rugs that are less expensive, I have ordered a jute rug from Ballard (love and simple for color selection) and woven one from Garnet Hill (also love and it was pretty simple and grey). I have almost ordered a 3x5 just to see color when I was considering a larger rug from an online store - with the intention that I would either stick it somewhere or return it if the shipping was not too much. At least I would be more confident of the color when ordering the larger rug. But I did not end up doing this. I have almost ordered several rugs from FLOR and love their sample program. (Writing this makes me realize that I have almost ordered a lot of rugs.. I must have commitment issues!)

Are you after just vegetable seeds or flower seeds?

Jane, If you want organic, then the place to start simply has to be the HDRA's official marketing catalogue "The Organic Gardening Catalogue" www.OrganicCatalogue.com.

I also recommend membership of HDRA for anyone remotely interested in organic gardening, perhaps not so important for organic farming as they do tend to concentrate on gardening rather than farming, despite what I believe were the original intentions of Lawrence Hill HDRA's founder that farming and gardening should be equally important to the organisation - at least that is the way I read his writings.
