I like Prairie Moon very much. In fact I am reading their catalog right now but they do not have any vegetables. Should I still add them?

Nan6b thanks for the idea. How about we have a list for Tomato Seed Vendors, good Pepper Seed Vendors and then another for Flowers? Not every vendor is good for all of these. Most of them have a known specialty and then a few of the other species to balance things out.

That might be the fairest. (Native plants) and (flowers from anywhere) might be separate lists, maybe.

I don't think that we should have "Native plants" because this is a global site. What is native to one country is not to another. Given that, I am using the terms Grasses and Flowers.

Speaking of native plants.
I can go out and dig up what they sell at the nurseries here for landscaping.
Up to and including fishing pole bamboo they make those expensive hand made bamboo fly rods from.
Tomato Growers supply has a vast selection of pepper seeds too.
Not all but enough to make the mind boggle.

I posted the final list in the Tomato Talk Forum.
Thank you everyone for your help. We can add more anytime. Just ask or make note.
It's a great list.

I buy a lot of seeds from Baker Creek, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, and Johnny's Selected Seeds. If some other vendor has what I am looking for, I'll buy from them. This past October, I bought a "grab bag" from MIGardener.com (I watch his youtube videos and wanted to give him a little support). That was actually kind of fun as I didn't know exactly what seeds I was going to get (and 30 packets for $10 was a good deal). I got several things that I would definitely grow and some things (like celtuce) that I have seen and wondered about but never seriously considered growing (now I will give it a shot).
