In just a few months it will be time to sow spring gardens, and right behind is sowing time for summer gardens. Ordering seed early may make the difference for getting varieties the gardener wants.
For gardeners wanting to support Texas agriculture, below is a list of seed companies with homes in Texas.
Seed companies that produce seed in Texas may offer ecotypes adapted to specific regions in our diverse state; a reminder that just because a population or species of plant has been defined as a ‘native’, does not mean that the population is adapted to a certain growing area. Ecotypes are distinct populations of plants that are adapted to a particular environment and progeny produced in Texas may have a better chance of survival because they have been bred in a defined environment.
