Swallowtail

Oh no, another tempting catalog! Someone mentioned Swallowtail Seeds in another thread as a good source for patio and hanging basket tomatoes. I spent some time scanning the site and wish I had someplace to put hanging baskets!

It also looks like a good place to find eggplants and squash for containers, and it offers seed for several strawberry varieties.

They also have some of the newest zinnias for those that are inclined to raise flowers also.

Last year I ordered some flower seeds and was very happy with them, their service and nice packaging. One I recall the most was the bright orange cactus zinnias. Beautiful.

ContainerTed has mentioned it and I had to have a look at it: Yes, I would like to order some varieties for hanging baskets from them, too, but unfortunately, they don't offer PayPal and I never use my credit card on the net - bad experiences from my brother... clara

I looked last nite too after the mention of them yesterday.

I might try some just to see how dwarf some of them are.

I added them to Tatiana's TOMATObase vendor list, based on Ted' recommendation. Their tomato listings will be posted there soon.
