Where's Good place to Order Tomato and other Garden Seeds?
Posted on 1/1/20 at 3:41 pm

I am looking to raise my own tomatoes from seeds this year, and wonder where are some affordable companies to order from. I just got a Gurneys booklet in that's 50% off, but dang they don't carry Celebrity tomato seeds and the seeds they do carry are $5 or more for a packet of 20-25 seeds. I am looking for celebrity tomato seeds, anaheim chili pepper seeds, jalapeno pepper seeds, plus a few other seed varieties. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2020 Garden Thread has some good resources.

I had ordered some seeds from Parkseed. Just got them in today. I’m impressed with their packaging and the seeds were very uniform and appear in great shape. Can’t speak to their germination rate just yet. But they do have celebrities.
Parkseed celebrity hybrid
ETA: Maybe they came in yesterday. I just got around to checking my mail today.

Johnny's Selected Seeds. They send me a seed catalogue every year and it is chock full of not only different vegetable varieties, but of different varieties of each vegetable.
They also have seeds for flowers, fruit plants, shrubs, etc.
Plus, they sell all type tools and equipment from things to get you started clean up to harvest.

Don’t know where you are located, but Cleggs Retail Plant Nursery on Siegen Lane in Baton Rouge carries a wide selection of vegetable garden seeds of many varieties, and certainly Celebrity tomatoes. Mr Johnny Naylor purchases seed in bulk from the major vegetable seed suppliers and re-packages them in small ziplock bags. Rarely do you need to pay more than couple bucks for a packet of seeds at Cleggs.

You'd be surprised how much of what you mentioned can be found at Home Depot and Lowes in their seed display. If in the N.O. area, you can also head to Banting's Nursery on the Westbank, or call first to see if they have what you are looking for.
I've found that buying plants already started is more practical for me with some of the things I grow during the year. You buy a seed packet of Celebrity tomato seeds and you're likely going to get 50 or more seeds in that packet. Unless you have a HUGE garden, that is a lot of tomato plants.
The things I buy in seed are what I want a lot of like Kale, Swiss Chard, leaf lettuces, beets, pole and bush beans, cucumbers, okra etc. and I'll direct sow them into the soil and thin as needed.
Things like collards, broccoli, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, I'll buy plants in 4 packs and just transplant them.

Tomato Growers Supply, Heritage Seed Market and Wild Boar Farms have been my most recent sources.

Tractor Supply stores generally have a big assortment of Burpee seed packets.

Maybe, but I’ve always found that my home started plants before better in times of weird weather. Maybe they’re more robust since they grew in accordance with home environment, maybe it’s just that I don’t rush them, maybe it’s since they weren’t started 100’s of mikes away.
You can save the extra seeds for at least another year.

Placed my order with Park Seeds. Thanks for all the input.
