It is always best to order from popular seed companies. Their popularity is most likely due to good service and high quality seeds. However, even reputable companies run out of favorite verities of seeds; so be sure to order early!
Good seed companies provide colorful catalogs that give detailed information on such things as:
o Expected yield
o When and how to pick your crops
o Individual plants suitability to such conditions as resistance to disease and when to plant in relation to frost, cool temperatures, or summer heat
You should consider all of this information when planning your seed order and choosing a seed company.
You can find the names of good seed companies in gardening magazines, by an internet search, or by asking gardeners who have good results. Order catalogs from several companies and choose the one that looks best to you.
