Seed picks from Zone 4 Gardening

Understandably, winter is a part of the natural cycle, however, as much as I enjoy it, admittedly, I'm really itching for spring. I just want to get into my garden!!
To help me through the "dog days of winter" I read (and purchase) from certain seed companies.

This blogger believes in only using open pollinated seeds, (as well as other ecological gardening practices that will be talked about in future blogs), so provided below is a list of excellent Canadian sources for just such items. Enjoy!
