Fedco is my absolutely favorite (they’re on the list already! 😀)

Why is there an asterisk next to some of the companies?

The stars are some favorites that the Editors have used in the past… we need to grow bigger gardens so we can try out all of these great seed companies!

I'd like to know why there are asterisks too.

I recommend you add Dixondale Farms to your list of catalogs. I've dealt with them for several years now and find them a truly remarkable company. Specializing in onions, they help me select the right varieties, send them at the right time for planting in my area and provide information for their care at each stage of development.
