There are many sources where one can find seeds for planting inside or outside. Just go on the Internet and BAM you have a plethora of sites to choose from. Here are a couple that I use frequently as I have had great customer service from them and the seeds are good. Territorial Seed Company and Park Seed, most sites will send you a catalog so you can look at the pictures frequently which I tend to do.
Always remember to check the ZONE you live in, if the items you are after does not grow well in your ZONE, be careful, I hate for you to waste your money. If you are in Summit County, Utah, you should look at items in ZONE 3 and 4.
One other thing that is greatly important to mention are the days to harvest, especially with vegetables. Since I live in an area with a short growing season I try to find hearty vegetables with shorter growing times. I usually shoot for 60 days.
I do start everything in the greenhouse, and transfer out to the garden usually around Father's Day, usually the last frost happens around that time. Then I can anticipate that in mid September we will have a frost again. My goal is to have the vegetables blooming at the time that I put them outside.
There are some difficulties I encounter with watermelon, pumpkins and viney items, they grow all over the greenhouse and when it is time to move them outside, it becomes somewhat difficult to untangle them. None the less it is fun.
