I also love hollyhocks...

Heritage Harvest Seeds is located in Carman Manitoba. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

ok thanks I will check them out too....I know you are supposed to choose a seed place that is in your zone because then maybe they will be more suited, not sure if there is anywhere that is like where I am...but a stuff suited to a shorter growing season would be good!

Thank you for posting I didn't know they were there. I ordered a catalogue. Can't wait for it to arrive.

I ordered seeds from them last year and was very happy with what I got.

My wife and I ordered seeds earlier this week. She marks in the catalogue, I record them in an excel file and then order them on line from William Dam Seeds in Ontario. In a few weeks one of us will be able to go to the post office and ask for our Dam seeds. My wife has been ordering from them for close to thirty years. They always have good seeds and the seeds are not treated.

Yes that is why i thought i would try Manitoba, I thought they would be the most like my neck of the woods of Sask. Our growing season is so short. The woman around here say to plant May long weekend, last year it was to wet and i didn't get my garden in until June

Here I find that if I plant them before the first week of June they don't really do anything - too cold - so no point putting anything outside any earlier. I have to deal with deer problems though, a real challenge.

I've noticed my poor leggy herbs on the windowsill are suddenly exploding into leaf - I guess with the longer days? Very exciting.

Myne arrived this past week, I'm trying to slowly expand my seed collection. I ordered their Pennsylvania Dutch
Butter Flavored Popcorn, and some Orca beans (used dry). I was quite happy with the service, and the orca beans are absolutely adorable!!

I can't believe the choices...now I can't decide what to get and from where...
Help!

I know what you mean, I think i will have to place another order with a different place. I forgot to order a few thing.
One thing, if we do a seed exchange next year we will have a wonderful variety

All the talk of seeds and hatching chicks is driving me CRAZY! You all have to stop it!

I am so looking forward to spring and we have had these beautiful, sunny days lately but..... still -12C at night and still over 3 feet of snow. You must stop the torture and taunting of me, you MUST!

with the way my health is going and me draging around a Oxygen hose all the time I might have to raid everyone elses Garden LOL
Hope by spring I do do without the Qxy for a while so I can get a Garden Planted
Glad every one is happy with the seed place as I am sure I will order from them next year when I am better

Hi I just received my Heritage Harvest Seed catalogue that I sent for a few days ago and I am only on page 4 and I want it all! . It is a great catalogue it has very interesting notes on the varieties listed. Thank you for posting.

We started ordering from Heritage harvest 3 years ago. they are great. We like that they are bred for a short growing season, so they plants don't hang around they get on and produce veggies! We get spoilt in Ontario because we don't get our frosts as early so yields are great with their seeds and their bean selection is awesome.

I love the design on the catalogue too! Shallow I know! haha.
