For vegetable seeds, I have been very satisfied with quality and service from Harris and Johnyy's Selected Seeds. I have also purchased from FEDCO and seed quality has been variable, especially with their organic offerings. For specialty seed, Turtle Tree has some good items, especially their lettuces and Kohlrabi. All of these suppliers are on the web.

Mike,

I use Johnny's quite a bit, I have for years. Haven't personally used Harris, but they have been around a long time and a lot of people recommend them.

Since you like to grow punkins, melons, beans and sweet corn, Twilley's in SC has a wide selection of those--several pages worth. They are targeted towards commercial growers and don't have organic seeds but they have nice varieties. I can't grow watermelon here but Twilley's has some great cataloupe seeds. Their supersweey corn is the best I've tried.
