   it's about time for me to order seeds. if you're in the northeast US there is no finer seed supplier than Fedco. they're a worker owned coop based in Maine with great ethics. great transparency as to where the seeds come from, lots of organic and open-pollinated seed, and a bunch of varieties from the open source seed initiative. I buy as much of my stuff from them as I possibly can. they have the best catalogs, too. full of amusing art, short essays, funny customer feedback, and touching tributes to people who have died. and unlike most seed companies they use newsprint for their catalogs so you can compost it or use it for fire starter later. I can't recommend them enough.

   (also do not order from baker creek I did once and when they sent me a catalog it had a lot of weird christian stuff in it)

     Interesting, I wonder if they partner with anywhere in Europe? I have been meaning to get back into gardening since 2021😅

     @danielittlewood they are *very* focused on seeds that perform well in the northern US but I can only imagine that there are European seed coops that are similar.
