UF,
I really did not start this thread to get into the politics of what a seed should or should not be. I just figured it would be good to have a place where new members could come who are starting up systems and have a list of places available to buy seeds from. Not generalities, but names of stores that everyone would be able to access. Most of the times that is going to be internet sources. The truth is sometimes when people are just starting out, they do not know what will grow well for them.
I know there are places out there that sell variety packs and assortments that can give someone lots of different choices of things to try. I have seen them before, but I just do not know any by name and was hoping there would be others willing to help add some names of places to this list.
