The scoop on 'John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds'

Ordered for the first time this year. Seeds were here very quickly and the plants are doing great. I would order from them again.

I ordered seeds from them for the 2nd time last winter. I love their selection of more unusual varieties, and I've been happy with the germination rate, and types of plants that result. I've only had poor luck with the cauliflower and spinach, but our early spring was really weird here, so I think it's more a case of the weather, not the seeds.

Love this company - great selection of products, reasonable pricing and quick shipping. Can't go wrong here.

I've ordered from this company before and was not disappointed. Great seeds and prompt delivery. A++

Interesting/different selections, very prompt service, very polite customer service! Will order from them again.

I've always been pleased with his bulbs, so I thought I would try some of his seeds. I wasn't disappointed! I will be ordering from him again. :-) Tamara

I just discovered John Scheepers this past spring and I've been very pleased with everything I ordered. They carry an interesting variety of seeds. Customer service was excellent and I recieved my seeds in 4 days! That's a record. S&H is very reasonable and that's important to me.

I have placed several orders with the company. I am extremely pleased with what's been popping up throughout the garden all spring and now into summer! Let me say a few words about peas: sugarsnap, petit pois, and snow. Wonderful mizuna, tat soi, lettuce blends. Every vegetable has been a terrific grower and most of the herbs. The ones I've had to struggle with are, predictably, herbs that have low germination rates -- no fault of the seed co. Service was prompt; packaging reliable (no wet seeds en route). I strongly recommend this company.

I placed just a small order, but i will place a bigger one next year. Ordering was fast and easy and the seeds were shipped very quickly.

I ordered some vegetable seeds from this company less than two weeks ago. The seeds arrived in just a few days and I've already got them planted. The service was outstanding! Provided that germination rate is high, I would definitely order from this company again.

I placed my first order with John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds this year. All of the seeds did *very* well, with nearly 100% germination.

The only seeds I had a problem with were White Wonder cucumbers... I direct sewed them along with 2 other varieties, and while the others did fine and came up, nothing was happening with the White Wonders. I pulled back the dirt to see if anything was growing... and nothing. I waited another week, and still nothing.

I wrote an e-mail to them to tell them about the White Wonder cukes... and they wrote back within a few HOURS and said they were sending out a new pack of seeds. A few minutes later, I got a shipping confirmation e-mail.

Honestly, I plan on getting ALL my veggie seeds from them from this point forward! I'm thrilled with the selection/service.

I ordered from kitchengardenseeds online after being enticed by their lovely catalog. (And checking GWD ratings of course!) The seeds arrived promptly and are wonderful little packages as someone else noted. One packet wasn't sealed quite properly and I lost some Milano plum tomato seeds as I was opening the larger garden collection envelop in which it was enclosed. I emailed about losing some seeds, got an immediate response, apology and promise to send a new packet. The replacement arrived in a couple of days along with a "sorry" message on the packing slip. Wow! I only order from top rated companies anymore so expect good product, fair pricing and reliable customer service. This company has outdone itself in all aspects. Will definitely be back there with more orders!

I've ordered once. The seeds were delivered quickly, and germination has been excellent on the varieties I've started so far. I also bought some seeds - which are in very attractive packets - to give away as gifts. The prices may be a little high, but they do have some unusual varieties. Also, when I compared both the price and the seed count, most of the things I bought came out pretty close to other companies as far as cost per seed.

I've ordered from this company 3 times. They are great! Incredibly fast delivery, great catalog, nice website with interesting recipes and most important- I've always gotten 100% germination from my seeds. This year they didn't send the packet of Sungold cherry tomatoes that I ordered, but sent a packet of scallions by mistake. I left a voicemail for them on the weekend. The following Monday I got a return message saying that the correct seed would be sent. That packet arrived a few days later.

I will keep ordering from them and I recommend this company to all my friends and relatives. They are one of my all-time favorites!

The Best seed company I have oreded by mail from. The website is attractive, the recipes unique. The delivery is quick. The catalog is exceptional.
My tomato plant germination seemed to be 100% Banana legs and green zebra being my favorites.
The unique bean variaties, I enjoyed till frost.

I have just received my third purchase of seeds from this company. I have had almost 100% germination from every packet, and the resulting plants are very vigorous and consistent with what is depicted in their catalog. They also have some unusual varieties, described wonderfully in their online store site. I enjoy the collections, groups of seeds for salads, salsa, etc. And I also give them as gifts to my gardening friends, who all rave about them. I have had only wonderful experiences ordering from this company.

I ordered several types of vegetables and herb seeds last year with 100% germination. The seed packets were full of good seeds, and the illustrations on the packets were a piece of art in themselves! Positively beautiful little picures of butterflies, bees and other insects fluttering about the plant that the packet represented. The catalogue is well organised too, with plenty of descriptions and suggestions.

The prices are a little inflated and the choice not as great as with some other companies more geared to mass marketing; you can get the same seeds a little cheaper elsewhere, but if you want something a little special, such as for gifts, you might certainly consider John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds. You get the same top quality with their seeds as you do with their bulbs.
