Seeds and Growing
Do you harvest all of your seeds?We grow many plants and harvest seeds! It is a meticulous process to preserve the integrity of the seeds we grow, so we also source top quality seeds from other growers all over the world. As growers, we know how important it is to have fresh, quality seeds and we know you will be happy with our finds!
No, we do not sell GMO seeds. We are committed to the Seed Safe Pledge which does not support GMO seed production or distribution..
Only organic seeds will be sold as such. That said, most of our seeds actually do come from growers who adhere to organic growing practices, and many are in the process of becoming certified organic. We believe that how you care for your seeds in the planting and growing process will determine the success of your plants and that you can have much success with any top quality seeds. All of our seeds can be grown organically, without chemicals.
Seeds preserved properly can last from 1 to 5 years. However, as seeds age, the rate of germination decreases. If you have seeds from last year or even a decade ago, they might sprout, but not as readily as fresh seeds and the growth may not be as vibrant. To keep seeds fresh, we use glassine bags inside the outer envelopes. This allows the seeds to be preserved and retain the best germination rate.
Place your seed packets in an airtight jar or container and store in a cool, dry place. It is not necessary to refrigerate most seeds but they do need to be kept dry as moisture can cause mold to destroy the seeds.
Depending on the variety of the plant, we package the seeds according to expected use. Our packets range from small sample sizes to bulk quantities and those quantities are specified on our website.
After evaluating your growing space you can plan out how much area to devote to each variety. Our descriptions will help you decide how many packages of seeds you need because we tell you the plant spacing and spread. Allow extra seeds as many plants need to be thinned once planted in the ground.
You can start planting seeds practically year round! Some seeds are started indoors well before putting outside, as early as January. The latest time for outdoor planting is calculated by working backwards from the maturity or harvest date for the plant. See the growing instructions on each variety.
You should buy your seeds as soon as they become available in Fall and Winter. We expect similar sales volume in 2023 and are prepared to meet our customer’s needs.
Yes, we have many varieties that are F1 hybrids. Seeds from F1 hybrids cannot be saved year over year because they will not produce a crop from seed as the plants are sterile and do not reproduce.
Yes, we do! If you are purchasing seeds for school or educational use, please send verification of your program in business letter and include your request for seeds. We typically have some seeds reserved for such programs at substantially reduced prices.
