I am a gardener the grows a wide variety of plants and vegetables. Where is a good department or any store that sells 100% organic plant seeds from tomatos to zucchinis

Wal mart,Home depot, and lowes all now has an organic seed display usually right by the regular seed selections

We would like to start an organic garden this spring. I tried to grow from seed, but I am no green thumb.

Is there a place to purchase organically grown vegetable transplants?

BBC Gardener's World has an article on this in this month's edition (April 2007). They recommend www.organicplants.co.uk. That's only any use if you are in the UK of course!

I find most plants are easy to grow from seed if you start them indoors in a seed tray. You only need to keep them moist, really. Then you need to "prick them out" i.e. ease them out of the tray and transplant them on a warm, dampish day. when soil temperatures are up to at least 7 degrees Celsius. (You can't do most root veg this way, tho').

It gets easier with practice but the main thing is to read the seed packet carefully and follow the instructions – and to check the seedlings daily.
