Zach placed our orders as soon as we were able to – and it’s a good thing he did! Johnny’s and FEDCO shut down home-garden ordering within weeks of opening orders for 2021. This past week, Johnny’s re-opened for home gardeners and we place our final order. Fedco has a waiting-list system in place.
There are still plenty of places that cater to home gardeners and are still taking orders. Baker Creek, MI Gardiner, High Mowing Organic Seeds, and Fruition Seeds are some of our favorites.
Happy planning!
