West Coast Seeds

The days are getting longer and it's getting warmer...spring is just around the corner! Every year around this time I pick up a catalogue for West Coast Seeds. They specialize in seeds for growing organic vegetables, herbs and flowers that thrive on the west coast of Canada.

To call WCS's publication a catalogue is a bit of a misnomer...it's more of a gardening guide/handbook packed with all sorts of extremely helpful gardening tips, tools and supplies along with seeds. And this year, they're carrying a line of whole foods.

Of all the seeds I've used to grow vegetables, I've had the best success with WCS. They constantly research varieties that grow well in our west coast climates and they test the plants at their demonstration garden in Richmond. WCS also have a "Safe Seed Pledge" which states that they do not buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. That's reassuring for our agricultural and food producing systems!

I can't wait to plant some spring veggies like arugula, radishes and mesclun!! Check out West Coast Seeds for more early spring vegetable planting ideas!
