I would say as a general rule that since most commonly grown seeds are raised by large international growers, the seeds themselves will likely not be much different. Of course if you are buying from smaller organic only sources, the seeds and service might vary more.

It appears to me that most problems develop not from seeds but from plant shipments concerning quality, size, speed, condition on arrival of plants, and satisfaction over these things.

The Garden Watchdog can be very useful. There is an alphabetical directory with consumers' experiences of a bazillion vendors.

Most of their seede cost $1.00 to $1.50 per pack. And shipping for average l order is about $3.50. I have not yet ordered from them but probably will order some tomatot seeds from them. They also have fairly good selection of peppers and many garden veggies.

NO: I don't own any interest in the company. hehe

I also visited Burpee's site. I find their prices beyond my budget.. They throw in a "Free Shipping" gimmick" as a bait. Hahaha. I aint no fish.

I order about a third of my seeds online, always in situations where I want or need specific varieties that are worth the cost. Another one third comes from my saved seeds, and the rest I buy at retail racks in spring -- including box and Dollar stores. By far the best prices.

Garden Watchdog is great.
