My first choice would be Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. rareseeds.com

There are others that are smaller companies that are available online.

Territorial has a few in their main catalog and put out an heirloom catalog now as well:

You are most welcome.

They began as a local company here when I first started gardening, and have grown up.

A few years ago the Abundant Life Seed Foundation had a catastrophic fire and with their accumulated seed stocks destroyed shifted the heirloom seed operation over to Territorial. Abundant Life is still around but mainly they do consulting and such to encourage growing heirlooms and improving food production in the third world.

Territorial is an ethical company and I have always received good service from them.

Here's another one. I have not bought from them but am considering it. They have good prices: www.heirloomseeds.com/index.html

You might want to consider a new source. I used to buy from them almost every year, but not this year.

Read This that I posted earlier today: freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=132624

Are they out of business? I've been out of action for quite some time.

I don't know if they're out, but they got hosed, from the article that OI posted earlier today.

What are you fixin' to do, Loddy? Are you figuring on planting a garden or planning to store them for use in the future for planting or barter?

I'm thinking about getting seed packets from Lowe's or Menard's when they go on sale after the season and vacuum packing them for use next year. Normally I get my starts for the garden from a nursery called Main's that opens up every spring in New Haven a couple of miles east of me, but I'm guessing this will be the last year for them. I've got a feeling when they pack up their trailers and head back to Flordia this year, they'll be gone.

I save the flats and plastic transplant containers for future use in starting my own seedlings. I've got a big, south-facing window in my den that I could use as a little greenhouse to get the starts going. I normally plant simple stuff like peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, zuchinni, etc. In the past, bugs always got my beans & peas, coons & groundhogs get the corn. Bunnies will get young cukes, but I made some 6" high by 6" dia cages out of 1/4" hardware cloth and use them until the plants get to the top of the cage. Apparently the bunnies like the real young starts.

Our current residence has zero topsoil; great for the foundation, but nowhere for gardening.

A green-house may be the answer, and having the seeds on hand for whatever happens.

Mom's joint is like that. About 1 inch topsoil and hardpack clay underneath. I've never taken out any grass clippings, leaves or any organic matter at my joint in 30 years. The topsoil is over two foot deep on the east side of my house. About 6-12" everywhere else.

Clay, over time, is amendable.

Limestone, not so much so, unless you've millennia to live.

Take a look at SmartPots. I have about 20 of them. The 20 gallon and 25 gallon are good for tomatoes and melons. They have them all the way up to a huge 400 gallon pot which is big enough for an entire small garden.

www.smartpots.com/

Gardener's Supply Company sells them in different shapes and sizes (they call them grow bags) custom made for them.

www.gardeners.com/Outdoor...ters_Dept,default,sc.html

Their Potato Grow bag is just a 20 gallon SmartPot.
