Two weeks of growing in the Ceres hothouse.

Heirloom seeds

Jankala Organic Seed Organic and heirloom seed varieties, and DOT Pots which are made from natural wood fibres and peat moss and are designed to plant straight into the earth without disturbing the roots.
It is a small company with a lot of integrity and their selection of seeds is humble but there are some great varieties and very reasonably priced.

The Italian Gardener Specialising in Italian heirloom vegetables, all of these seeds come direct from Italy, there is a good selection of organic/ biologici and they sell Yellow watermelon! Delicious! And! Mache / Lambs Lettuce! My favorite! This is the only place thus far I have been able to track down this seed in Australia (I fell in love with mâché in France). One day when I'm rich I will definately buy some, maybe someone wants to go halves in a packet?

Eden Seeds, our classic heirloom seed friends.
OUR AIM is to distribute old traditional open pollinated varieties of vegetable seed, preferably old Australian varieties and organically or bio-dynamically grown where possible.

Select Organic is Eden's Certified organic label with colour pictures on the packets. The only thing with buying seeds online is the rather large postage fee, so I guess it's wise to buy seeds together with a few people?

Or you can SAVE seeds and SWAP them!

Seed Savers Network is quite amazing and brilliant.
Seed Savers Network | Preserving the genetic basis of tomorrow's food
Promoting and organising the preservation, free distribution and exchange of open-pollinated seeds.

Anyway lots to read and research and be apart of, the Seed Savers Handbook is meant to be an awesome resource and there are local groups all over the place that you can join. I reccomend checking it out and becoming apart of this global movement to create a wonder filled deliciously diverse edible jungle!

After yesterdays inspiration I decided to gutter integrate my learning by embracing the half a million or seed trays left at my house by a previous housemate and do some progating! It was really fun and a lot of things I learnt yesterday made more sense as the newness of information settled. I'm growing red pak choy, black zucchinis, tatsoi and crystal salad cucumbers amongst other things.
