What's everyone's preferred seed vendor? (lemmy.world)

Lot of stuff I’ve been reading say to buy around mid December when the seed catalogs come out, but which ones?

I usually just get seeds and plants from Home Depot, it’s done the job, but I want to find some nice heirlooms and/or varieties they don’t carry. Also screw “white label” seeds. But that’s another discussion.

So this last year I got some different seeds from Lee Valley, but I wasn’t a huge fan, still felt like Home Depot just under another name.

So what’s your guys favorite website or place to get seeds. And when do you find the best time to order.

A little bit specialized/niche, but my favorite is Kitazawa Seed. For more Western varieties, I like Fedco. I tend to order in late winter.

FYI The original owners retired a few years ago and the brand is now owned by True Leaf market. I bought from them before the switch but not yet from the new site.

I haven't had any problems.
