Happy Plants!

Very high rate of germination. These seeds perform much better at my high desert property than conventional seeds from the big box stores!

So far - excellent

So far everything has been great, the site was informative, the info about the seeds is good, particularly with elevation growing and the native varieties. I'm impressed with the mission for sharing knowledge and hopefully I'll have some success this year with the crops and saving my own seeds. I was happy to find a good organization to support while I shopped for seeds this year.
