What's everyone's preferred seed vendor? (self.gardening)

Lot of stuff I’ve been reading say to buy around mid December when the seed catalogs come out, but which ones?

I usually just get seeds and plants from Home Depot, it’s done the job, but I want to find some nice heirlooms and/or varieties they don’t carry. Also screw “white label” seeds. But that’s another discussion.

So this last year I got some different seeds from Lee Valley, but I wasn’t a huge fan, still felt like Home Depot just under another name.

So what’s your guys favorite website or place to get seeds. And when do you find the best time to order.

I've had good luck with Pinetree seeds. They have a nice selection and decent growing tips. I've been very pleased with everything I've purchased from them.

Bah, thanks for the suggestion, they don’t seem to ship to Canada though.

I do see they have a catalog to sign up for, so maybe I’ll peruse some websites and see which ones also do that.

I found a couple, but rather get word of mouth than rely on marketing.
