Dear Gardening Friend,

I hope you enjoy this list of top vegetable, flower, fruit, and herb seed catalog companies. Some specialize in particular plant types such as herbs or tomatoes, others only offer only organically grown open-pollinated heirloom seeds, but most will provide thousands of varieties for you to choose from. Good luck with your gardening this year, and if you ever have questions about your garden, lawn, or landscape, just call me on Saturdays on AM 740 and FM 102.3 News talk KRMG!
