Kevin,
Here is that follow-up mail I promised you giving some places to send for.
Almost all send their catalogs free; call or write them and your mailbox
should be expanding by leaps and bounds within two weeks. Also, I've
ordered seeds (and tools) from almost every company listed; all were
fine quality and I had no problems; company selection got down to what
variety and price I wanted (ex: I wanted to grow 'Sweet Success'
cucumbers - almost everyone sells them - I found the best price and
placed my order) ; I currently have about 100 different seed packets!!!
