Garden seeds

I almost have all my seeds. I still need to buy some more squash seeds, but those don't get planted until it warms up, so no hurry on that.

I bought some seeds at local stores, but most of them came from two mail-order sources: TomatoFest and Heirloom Seeds. Prompt shipping on both, but TomatoFest's shipping charge seems a little high, especially since they put the seeds in an envelope and mailed them with 60 cents postage. Heirloom Seeds had lower shipping charges and packaged the seeds in a padded envelope. The seeds are cheaper at Heirloom Seeds, too, but that is mainly because most of their seeds are not certified organic, while TomatoFest sells only organic seeds. All seeds from both companies are open-pollinated (no F1 hybrids).

We ended up buying two varieties of sweet corn. One is white, and one is yellow. I'll try to keep them from crossing, and it should be easy to tell by the color of the kernels if they crossed or not. Hopefully, we will have a good crop of sweet corn this year, along with a huge crop of tomatoes.
