So far I mostly order from the local companies, like annapolis seeds and hope seeds, they are amazing little companies that sell mostly heirloom organic selections from local growers. I don't have to buy a lot of seed now as I'm getting pretty good at saving!

Great! What all seeds do you save currently?
Tons of tomato varieties (most I first recieved from @karenfoster) cuke, squash, zuke, peppers of all sorts, flowers, purselane and basil, beans and peas, corn, lettuce, chard, radish, Im trying to over winter carrots currently to have them flower this year.. We'll see! Probably forgetting others, haha :) As many as I can!
Thats wonderful!!! Huge goal of mine to save seed, but somehow time gets away from me every year! I want to at least save Tomato seed this year...
How do you keep your Cucurbits from crossing? Thats a tricky one for me...
Tomatoes are the easiest! Just squish some guts from your biggest bestest fruit into a paper towel and let it dry completely. When you go to plant in the spring just rip a piece off!
I haven't been able to prevent cross pollination, haven't really had a problem with it though. I'm sure i'll run up against an issue before too long but I'll figure it out when it comes along :)
