Anyone here knows where I can get some tomato seeds in the GTA area? Specifically I am looking for:

Striped German,
Cherokee,
Sun Gold,
Sweet 1 million,
and Brandywine.

I'd also love to get my hands on some Ginger Mint and Orange Mint.

If you're willing to buy online, I can recommend several websites that I buy from. Migardener.com is having a great sale on seeds right now, and has a great varieties. I love shopping at Tomatogrowers.com. Incredible selection of seeds there. Hoss Tools has really good seed, as does Baker Creek.

Hi Sun,

I buy most of my seeds from Jung Seed Inc:

jungseed.com

Peppers from Harris seed:

harrisseeds.com

Both excellent firms.

Ginger is a rizone, so you need a certain climate.

I' love to grow some Turmeric also.

Hope that helps.

Bob

Thank you Bob!
Hope all is well with you.

I've gardened for a long time, but this is the year that I am getting really serious about it.
For starters, I never realized until this year how expansive tomato roots really are. I don't think that I will ever grow them in pots again.

Speaking of online sales, a number of gardening supplies are on sale on Amazon now. I bought some fairly large containers are good discounts.

Also, many people don't realize this, but you can actually ask for discounts from Home Depot garden center. For example they had designer blackberries and hydrangeas that were priced over $40 each and I got them for $5 because they had broken branches and had not been watered for a week or so and looked abysmal. They all came to life after a week of care and are now in a great shape.
