How much time do you have? lol
Just glancing at my bookmarks, I have a
Garden section with 48 links,
Tomato Seeds with 9,
Garlic Seed with 12,
Pepper Seeds with 14,
Asian Gardening with 3, and
Hydroponics with 7, though many are cross-indexed.
Seriously, though, many,if not most of those, I haven't even ordered from, and just glancing, a couple I deleted because they are no longer in business.
I buy very few plants, as I start everything from seed, though this year I had to buy 2 eggplants, since the one type of seeds did not germinate, so I definitely have to order those next season. The HD, Lowe's, and similar places have mostly those one plant pots for 4-6 dollars each, and guess what they can do with those!
For herbs, there is no place like
Richters Herbs. While in Canada, it still has lower shipping than most other places, plus the huge selection. However,
Logee's Greenhouses is another herb place in my bookmarks - you are lucky to be close enough to drive to it
Larry!
Many companies have gotten too expensive with the seeds, as well as the shipping. This has made me scratch a few from my list. Or, friends and I in the gardening forums will get together, and one will want several things from one of those places, including some of the items besides seeds, and order me the one seed I want, and I'll order them one one from the place I get a bunch from. And we're always trading seeds.
Some companies have small seed packets, which is what I want, for most things. One that I have been ordering from from way back in the 80s is
Pinetree Garden Seeds. Another, only online, is
The Sample Seed Shop. And one with a lot of tomato, but also other vegetable seeds in smaller packages, costing less, the more you order, is
Seeds n'Such.
Those Asian seed places I go to every few years, when things start running out, though I check yearly, for new items of interest. The one with the most selection is
Evergreen Seeds. The one I have to order from for next year is
Seeds Of India, which has a lot of seeds I have not seen elsewhere. The last one is
Kitazawa Seed Co., which is a little more expensive, but again, some unique items.
For gardening and greenhouse type things, The best place is
Greenhouse Megastore. However, for greenhouse remnants, for things like roll plastic, and things like that, two places I've found useful. You jsut have to look until the size you are looking for shows up!

These places also have a lot of agricultural things, but too much for me!
Another place I get seeds from is ebay, when I only need one or two things, or sometimes I have found things over in Australia, and other places, that I could not find here
anywhere! Occasionally. as with anyplace, I've gotten seeds that weren't what they said (one of those tomatoes this year), but usually I have not had any problems at all. And sometimes gardening items are cheap, but often they are cheaper on Amazon.
I'll stop now, though I know I've left a lot out.
