The link above I received from my Mother Earth email. I've been looking at the map and clicking on the marks, there are some, well lets face it for me, lots of seed companies that I never knew existed. so I thought I would post for others that might not have this. Merry Christmas folks

What they don't have is a rating of the various seed companies, as GW does, which makes that list difficult, ahem, to make choices from and as far as I went, and actually a bit more, I do think the reputation of a company is a big priority. I used to sub to MEN many years ago, but it's changed since then. I was asked to contribute to an article, did so, and it was edited without running the edited version by me first. And since I knew several others who contributed I found the same had happened to them. The current Editor, I can't think of her name right now, used to be with Organic Gardening where I also knew her b'c Craig LeHoullier and I were asked to proof many articles there and as I recall she was the copy editor back then. So thanks for posting it, really, and I hope it might help others, but I'll go with the list in the Seed and Plant resources Forum here if I ever to decide to actually buy some seeds. And I already know where to buy my bulbs and perennials and seeds for veggies other than tomatoes and I'm sure they are on that long list as well. Carolyn

I too was disappointed as I entered Ontario, Canada and it came up with ecogenesis.ca which, it turns out, is not a seed company at all. It links to other seed companies - which are in the US. The first one that I looked up didn't even ship seeds to Canada - grrrr!

Linda, above is a list of companies in Canada, published in 2013, with contact info and what they sell, ect/ And I checked and as far as tomato seeds go, the ones I wanted to see were there. But the list is all inclusive as to other kinds of seeds as well. Towards the end there's a few thrown in from the US and France. Carolyn, who considers Google to be one of her best friends.

sorry about that Linda. I just was excited to find some many companies that I didn't know about before. Should I ever come across a listing for companies in Canada I will post that as well.
Now off to check them out.

Thanks Carolyn,
Great link! I love Google too and if I'm searching for a particular seed I just type in the name and follow the links. It works especially well for the more unusual varieties. Linda |
