Here are two more gardening catalogs to check out for your garden planning:
Baker Heirloom Seeds: http://rareseeds.com/seeds/
I love this company and their catalog. The only thing is that although most of their items have "length to harvest" days noted, some don't. Since we live in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, length to harvest is very important to us. Another little gripe is that there isn't any planting directions on the packets. Hope they change that soon. They do ship quickly, and are very helpful when asked questions (last year we asked for a winter squash - not pumpkin - that is easy to grow and provides tasty nutritious seeds - they recommended Mexican X-Top cushaw squash - easy to grow, interesting to look at, and yum!). These are all heirloom seeds, and most are NOT genetically modified. The exception seems to be corn, which is almost important to get "clean". The following are the seed categories with appropriate links:
