]]> Yikes, it’s early to garden, I know. But, soon enough you’ll need to plan your early spring starters. Plus, there are plenty of plants and herbs to grow indoors, year round. In either case you’ll need seeds.

Organic seeds are the way to go as most offer the following:

  • GMO-free (i.e. not genetically modified)
  • No chemicals added.
  • Buying organic seeds from companies or farms supports the organic movement as a whole.
  • Many organic seed companies have, or are, introducing organic seeds that are breed to fare well in organic growing conditions.
  • The most obvious point – if you’re into organic gardening; why start with a non-organic seed?

High Mowing Organic Seeds

Turtle Tree Seed

To learn more about organic seeds visit the Organic Seed Alliance. If you happen to live in the Pacific Northwest like I do, you may be interested in the Organic Seed Alliance’s, Organic Seed Growers Conference. It’s coming up – February 14-15, 2008. I’d go, but they’re holding the conference in the one and only town in Oregon I don’t like. Too bad though; it sounds very cool.
