I am thinking about what seeds to get for this year. Usually, I get seedlings already planted up in May but this year I want to plant more heirloom varieties and you just can't get those out of a regular garden store (although my co-worker always tried very hard to get some heirloom tomatoes in but customers did not want to pay the higher price.) I think I shall use this seed supplier as he is local and not just a seed supplier but also a seed sanctuary. Here is their mission statement:

We are a charitable organization dedicated to the health
and vitality of the earth through the preservation and promotion of
heritage seeds.

We are committed to maintaining, evaluating
and keeping records for all the edible, medicinal and useful crops that
can be grown in Canada.

We are a learning centre and network encouraging local food and seed production.
