I tried out Fontana Seeds as I live in Europe. Germination rate was crazy! I think they only ship in Europe though. https://www.fontanaseeds.com

Sounds like US Customs is cracking down and being vigilant according to Robert Parson’s website. I’d hat to have my seeds destroyed trying to get into Colorado Any recommended US sweet pea producers with the varieties close to Robert’s? Thanks

I believe there was an article in the New York Times about you working with a seed producer in Ukraine. I have lost it (of course) but wonder if you were still distributing for this courageous lady who is supporting her family with this business. Thanks Isobel

In looking through your seed farm resources, I was looking for a farm located in Texas, to help me source plants best suited for our hot, dry climate. I am not in any way affiliated with them, but would love for you to consider listing WildSeed Farms, my go-to for wildflower seeds. https://www.wildseedfarms.com/

I love Southern Exposure Seed Exchange in Mineral, Virginia for our school garden. They have a huge selection of veggies, flowers, and cotton!

Three US based seed companies I’ve had great luck with are Hudson Valley Seed Co. in New York, which has a wide variety of flower, herb and vegetable seeds in artfully designed packets, Strictly Medicinal Seeds that provide great seeds and information on an extensive variety of medicinal plants, and Quail Seeds in California that focuses on veg, herb and flower seeds with a focus on things that are perennial or can be naturalized, also a fantastic source of general growing info.
