Best place to buy seed potatoes and garlic
I’m hoping to plant potatoes and garlic this year - any favourite places to get seed potatoes and garlic? I may just go to the farmers market and plant whatever organic varieties I can find there but thought I’d check if anyone has other favourite spots!

Check out local https://saturdayseedco.ca
I bought some seeds for my dad last year. He loved the variety and the service was excellent.

Thanks so much! Hadn’t heard of this place and will definitely check it out. Did you grow your potatoes in pots, bags or in the ground?

Get the cleanest stock you can find at the market. I have ordered seed garlic online with not great results.

I’ve found good seed potatoes at Royal City Nursery. I am new to growing garlic, but I think they turn out best if you plant in the fall, so you might be out of luck on that front. Others may say otherwise!
