I've ordered my 2010 seeds, primarily from High Mowing and Heirloom Seeds. I went with a couple of hybrids for the crops that did the worst last year, namely corn and brussel sprouts. Absolutely no GMO seeds however. I am very excited about some of the new varieties and some of my favorites, like the Blue Lake Pole Beans and De Cocci broccoli, are making a return. I am trying a dry bean this year to make New England's famous Boston Baked beans! I went with completely new varieties of tomatoes, searching for that elusive big producer with blight resistance and I am going to try a field tomato outside the greenhouse as well, since space is limited in the hot house.
I also found a local provider of seed potatoes and ordered 50 lbs. I hope I have room in my expanded garden for all this food!
Like last year, the seed producers are predicting shortages due to the tough economic times, so I would get my orders in fairly soon, especially if you are looking for open-pollinated or otherwise heirloom type seeds.
