One thing to try if you're starting out anew is to drive around and see who else has really good gardens. You can stop and ask them about their gardens and how they make them grow so well. Then you might ask if they have any extra seeds to share. I have shared tons of seeds with strangers.
There are a number of seed providers online, but supplies are getting short. Look for heirloom varieties, as you can save seeds and get the same varieties. Hybrids are either sterile or give you seeds that are one or the other of the hybrid's parent varieties.
When you grow your garden, save seeds from the best plants. After a few years, you will have vegetables that are tuned to the microclimate of your garden.
Where did you get your seeds? Anyone else feel free to chime in on good sources
