      Hi Tim,
      Thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to write reviews…we would like to recommend, it’s favorable practice to not leave a review on a product not used yet, especially seeds. One just doesn’t know what the result will be. The other seeds you reviewed the germination rates were still above Federal Minimum Standards for germination rates…but, not up to our standards we strive for. If you have any germination problems ever, please feel free to email us. We are always happy to work our a satisfactory resolution. Thank you for your patronage, and God bless!
      John, Sarah, and Family

    This maybe too early to leave a review but going ahead to let people know that my seeds (Romaine, Bibb, Prizehead, and Buttercrunch along with the free pack St. Clare seeds gave me – thank you!) arrived fast and after I finally got them planted, the seedlings sprouted within 4-5 days. I had to place a plastic sheeting over my raised garden bed to create a greenhouse environment to help the sprouts grow the first 7-10 days. They are growing nicely now. Now, I just need to keep the squirrels out of it! I am using a mosquito netting with hopes it will help. Praying for God’s help for a bountiful harvest!

    The only bad thing about good quality lettuce seeds is that then I have to thin so many out! Next time I won’t plant as many, since I’m sure most will sprout.
