I like getting my seeds from the seedbank or seed savers here in the valley. I save quite a few of my own. It is a great way to grow what does well in our area.
I get seeds from Good Earth, Salt Spring seeds and friends regularly. I’ve also purchased from various other island producers, usually at Seedy Saturday!
Now it is rare for me to buy from catalogues, especially out of the province.
I got my planting garlic from the Merville Garlic festival in 2017 and some from the farmer’s market and well as some from Rasa Farms in the interior.
I don’t have either of the seeds Linda is looking for, but they sound interesting.
Cheers,
Barbara
