I want to put a plug in for a local seed company, Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds
http://rareseeds.com/
They have this new location in a former bank so it's called the 'Seed Bank"

Baker Creek carries one of the largest selections of seeds from the 19th century, including many Asian and European varieties. Make sure to read the 'About' page as well as watch the nice video in that second link. There is a free catalog to send for or download. They are also the creators of the magazine 'The Heirloom Gardener'. This is what I was attracted to:
"All of our seed is non-hybrid, non-GMO, non-treated and non-patented.
We do not buy seed from Monsanto-owned Seminis. We boycott all gene-altering companies. We are not members of the pro-GMO American Seed Trade Organization! We work with a network of about 100 small farmers, gardeners and seed growers to bring you the best selection of seeds available! Many of our varieties we sell were collected by us on our travels abroad.
We offer over 1300 fine varieties! Unique seeds from 70 countries!"
