A place for gardening and plant pics
(and yes, I need to diversify my seed sources ๐)

Baker Creek has good seeds except they are, without basis, completely anti GMO and pro organic. Propagandizing their seeds as making 'pure food'. Plus being seventh day Adventists they closed their seed bank on Saturdays. But their seed catalog is pretty much the best
Yeah, the really nice catalog is why I've bought a ton of seeds from them over the years, but the anti GMO and other questionable views is why I've been looking to diversify, and get better at saving my own seeds.
Sweet! My summer ppants didn't produce anything edible, maybe I should replace now already with these plants?
Depending on the zone you're in yes. I'm in 9b and rarely get freezing temperatures, so I can grow things over winter that might not survive in colder areas. Some brassicas are especially frost tolerant, so it would be worth looking into and seeing what you can grow in your area.
