seeds

so here are some places to get seeds from
all are good seeds, they would never sell you a GMO seed or want to grow them, 
so nothing to worry about here
I hope to one day have a seed company that will be listed along with ones like these

http://rareseeds.com/
huge selection, large company, run by a plant breeder that knows how to pick new and good things, they also have a gardening web forum.

http://www.adaptiveseeds.com/
very small company (I think it is just the 2 people doing it part time), amazing seeds that have a large DNA variation, so saved seeds will give you a good local variety fast, also run by a plant breeder, if they carry something then there is a good reason they have it.

http://www.sandhillpreservation.com/
great people and great seeds, just read the intro page, if they carry something then there is a good reason they have it.

he has things that you can't get anywhere else, always sends more than he says he will, and he is a nice guy.

http://www.seedstrust.com
run by plant breeders, they have some good things, especially for cool weather short season places

some of the best potato seeds you are ever going to find, he also likes tomatoes
here is his web forum http://tatermater.proboards.com/
and his blog http://tater-mater.blogspot.com/

I like these, but not as much, still will be GMO free,

they specialize in long season heat loving plants for the south

http://www.seedsavers.org/
they encourage seed saving and trading, they also have a gardening web forum.

big company, nothing spectacular

http://www.bountifulgardens.org/
they list more grains that most places


http://www.nativeseeds.org/
native seeds of the southwest, shipping rates are high, and some of the plants need some breeding work to do as well as they should, but they have some solid plants that will live well where others fail.


these 2 are large commercial places worth ordering from especially if you need things in bulk,
but look into what you are getting for each type although they should be fine

so go start looking and see what you find that looks fun,
and if you own one of the seed companies I listed and want a better review, tell me, it is nearly 1am and I am tired, so they are not as detailed as they can be.
