Can anyone provide me with a retail or catalog source for herb seeds? I am interested in growing fresh herbs and harvesting them for use in recipes which call for only fresh ingredients. (I am not against using dried ingredients; I only want to try new recipes.) Any posting can be done to the net, as there may be other interested people. Thanks in advance. Katie

All the major garden catalogues I've seen have most common herb seeds (Burpee's especially comes to mind). A source for more unusual varieties is Nichol's (sp?) Garden Nursery in Albany, Oregon. I don't know the address, but Oregon information should have their phone number. -- A. Jacko, Tektronix

Farm. They will ship either seeds or live plants (at least they did a

#R:ihuxw:-80300:uicsl:3800045:000:317 uicsl!wombat Apr 25 13:54:00 1984 I've done well with seeds from the corner grocery store for dill, parsley, basil, and sage. I think they were either Northrup King or Burpee - they came in an orange-brown packet. Haven't decided what to try this year, but I expect it will do as well as the others have.
