I’ve ordered from this seller in the past, and everything arrives quickly. Great germination in the past, and I expect no less this year. Thanks so much!

I’ve not sowed, yet, any of the seeds I ordered from this site. The rate is based on the initial excellent customer service.
As soon as I see results after the sprouting of seeds, I’ll determine immediately the quality of the product.
Thanks to the seller for the important detail when shipped the order, it added a gift of pollinator’s seeds that will help tremendously in the yield of my vegetables.

I’m not ready to plant the mint yet, but it arrived promptly and in good condition; there was also an extra packet of seeds in my order, which also included onion sets I purchased. I am very pleased with and would recommend this seller.
