Re: Finding different varieties

Where to find herbs?  ell there is Home Depot and the usual multi-product
line outlets but theirs may be fresh when it arrives but can get tired.
There are some really neat herb suppliers.  Try Nichols in Oregon for one.
They also have some of the less popular vegetables. Burpee, etc also have
herb sections in their catalogs. Best bet might be to start visiting
nurseries, those that make their living only selling gardening materials.
They should know what is best and if they don't handle them, they may have
an answer.  One key to their success is that you go to them first and if
they can't supply material, then go elsewhere.
