I had no germination with Warrior. Trying their Big League variety. 47 days they say. Need that.I'll be 85 very soon. Like George Burns, I don't buy green bananas.

I ordered from Seeds and Such last season. I had excellent germination on everything I ordered. The free seed, Warrior tomato and Blight Buster bell pepper did very well in my garden. Bell peppers are hard to grow here.
.
I ordered again this year. So far, I have had 100% germination (tomatoes and peppers). There was a mix up, and they sent me Escamillo F1 instead of Habanada pepper. I contacted the company and they sent my Habanada pepper
fast and said keep the Escamillo . Both the Habanada and Escamillo are up, and what's more, in the past, I ordered Yellow Monster Bell from other companys. I never had a single seed of Monster to come up,before. I tried again this season from Seeds and Such-and guess what peppers coming up.
.
The customer service people were really nice, too. That is important to me, too.

I did my first order with S&S this year and so far, everything looks good. We had a small mixup on the order, and their customer service team made things right very quickly. Funny that you noted the free seeds - this year they sent "Pretty in Pink F1," a 72 DTM Japanese hybrid, and for the the first time ever, I plan to try the freebee. They have lots of the Tokita `Sun' series cherry tomatoes at fair prices and that is what initially drew me to them.

I did a fairly large order this past week. Everything was complete and arrived quickly. Loved that there were some varieties there I didn't see elsewhere. No free seeds for me though.

I've been Seeds & Such customer for 3 years & had no issues. Their prices & germination rates (75% for me this year) are acceptable. Since I only need 1 plant per variety, 15 seeds per packet are more than enough.

Another satisfied customer here. Good prices and normal germination. The number of seeds that you get per packet is based on the relative cost of the seeds. At $2.79 (flat-rate) per packet and $2.95 for shipping, it's a very good proposition, especially if you just want to try a new variety. Wayne gets a "thumbs up" from me.

I ordered from them on Feb 13. Received a message that the order was shipped on Feb 26.
I have no prior experience with S'nS, so can't say if seeds are true to the variety .

I, as the original poster, tried them after asking about them and had great success with all the seeds I ordered. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

This is the first year I ordered from them, they had a pepper that was hard to find and not available elsewhere. I put in a small online order for 5 packets on Feb 18 and they just arrived today, so that's 14 days. They also added two bonus seed packets.


I don't think two weeks is unusual at all for any seed company at this, their busiest time of year. I've had some arrive in a week's time, but I've also had other sources that take up to three weeks. Best to get those orders in early (says the great procrastinator.)

I have had mixed results, even using seed starting mix with thermostatically controlled heat mats, 72 degrees for tomatoes, 80 degrees for cukes, peppers, melons.

Don't be fooled by the "Free Pack" early bird seeds--they are giving FIVE SEEDS, not whole packs!

Some cuke seeds are really expensive--2.99 for 5 seeds.

Some seeds were really low germination, plus some packs are labeled with really low germination rates--some 50%, some 70%...isn't there some law minimum germ rates must be 80% or low rates must be known before purchase? I thought even ebay required 80%...

I hate buying $80-$100 worth of seeds only to wait for them to arrive then see stickers on the packs saying 50% germination rate and only get 5 seeds in the pack!
