Where is everyone getting their garden seed? I have used Gurney's, Burpee, along with Ace and Walmart. I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking a better source. I have considered the Co-op for this year.

I love RH Shumway for seeds I have trouble finding and old varieties. I get live plants from the amish greenhouses and common seed at Tennessee Farmers coop.
I buy a few seed every year from various catalogs to keep the subscriptions coming. In feb i "winter garden" by flipping thru the catalogs and planning my and others gardens.

Holmes and Harris for top of the line hybrids. Everwilde for heirlooms. Occasionally a few varieties from Seedway or Co-Op.

Co-op, TSC and I'll save seed from previous year. Also this year I've been doing some seed swapping with a coworker to add some different varieties.

Baker Creek far and away has the best selection and for a hobby gardener/homesteader can't be beat. I get the "Whole Seed Catalog" for my wife and kids for Christmas and it's a highlight of their year.
I've bought a lot from Holmes over the years while market gardening as they have a great selection at great prices in volume.

Which Menard are you traveling to? We were in bowling green and saw ground breaking for a new Menards. May save you a few miles down the road.

Usually go with our local nursery for seeds and plants.
Cub Creek nursery around Ashland City is where we used to get ours. Haven't been though since we moved further north.
I love Baker Creek, awesome photography and a great many items from all over the world. I do order some Asian greens most years but they are not my main source.
Ordered a thorny tomato from them last year, pretty sure it's just a bull nettle on steroids
I just ordered from Burpee, but have used packs from lowes walmart co-op and gurneys. Still need some cuke squash seeds. This will be my first year growing seedlings and not buying plants. Last year plant price was ridiculous.

Elizabethtown. I'll keep an eye out for the one in BG to open. It'd save some drive time and we could tie it into a Cabelas stop.
If you feel like taking a ride, check out Sauder Farms Country Market in Elkton, KY. They have about every seed you could ever hope for.
D&R Supplies in Pembroke, KY is my other go to. Cash only business.
