I like these folks. I've ordered from them twice now, and service and selection both have been excellent. I especially like the fact that I can find seeds here that are hard to find elsewhere. For example, they are the only ones I've found who carry spinach beet-greens. Excellent greens--prolific grower, good flavor, unusually slow to bolt.
On July 25th, 2008, bmuller changed the rating from positive to neutral and added the following:
I still consider their service, seeds, and selection outstanding. But I question their concern about accuracy in labelling. Their annual clary seeds are advertised as "clary sage," and the Latin name is given as salvia sclarea (the correct name for clary sage, but not for the photo or description of the plant, which both fit salvia viridis, or annual clary). I sent a couple of emails, both of which were ignored, and the labelling hasn't changed. I'm not insulted; my botanical knowledge is neither deep nor impressive. Nobody is obliged to listen to me. But I do know both of the plants involved here--and I'm a little worried that, if there is a casual attitude toward accuracy in labelling this plant, there well may be some inaccuracy in labelling the plants I DON'T know but might be interested in purchasing--by their correct names.
