I'm just starting out with vegetable gardening, and I want to grow various types of chillies and beans since they're staples in my diet. However, I'm struggling to find kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans at the big box stores. I'm also looking for reputable online seed vendors where I can buy these, along with some pepper seeds like ancho. Any recommendations?

Always consider local seed companies too! Their catalogs have tons of info on how different varieties perform in your area, which can be really helpful when choosing what to plant.
Botanical Interests is another fantastic place! I found great seeds online after my local store was out of what I needed, and they delivered really well. Definitely worth a look!
High Mowing Seeds is a great option! They have a solid lineup of beans and peppers. I love their stuff! Plus, you can also try Eden Brothers for reliable seeds, and don’t forget to save seeds from your own peppers for next season—it's a great way to keep your garden going without extra costs!
You should definitely check out Pepper Joe's for pepper seeds! They have a good selection and plenty of variety.
Have you thought about checking your local library? Some libraries offer seed libraries where you can grab seeds for free! It's a great community resource.
I totally agree! High Mowing has been a go-to for me too, and saving those seeds is such a handy tip!
