What kind of seeds are you interested in?(perennials, tomatoes, etc.)

I am interested in all seeds. I grow year round; including greenhouse.

Anything you would like to see on our site?(specific variety, more of something in general)

I think you are doing awesome.

I was searching for "The best seed companies" and your Company was mentioned. After reading the introduction, you sparked my interest. I decided to give you a try as the prices for what I ordered were half of what I was paying and the site was very well done. Great detail on the descriptions. This is very helpful. Even though I am a person that does not like taking chances and have always used the same companies for years, I look forward to trying your seeds.

Hi Gerald,
Thank you for deciding to give us a try. We of course haven't been around for years, but I think we have started off like any of the good companies that have been around awhile - by someone who loves what they do.

Would be awesome to have a review system so I could read about other customers' experiences.

I love this site and wish I had room to grow every single item in the shop! High germination rates have been really rewarding, all except the nasturtium! Not sure why it wont put up a single seedling.

Hi Melissa,
Glad you've been very happy except for the nasturtium. I guess they are tricky for people sometimes. I sow them outdoors in seed starter pots and have had very good luck that way. Some people swear by soaking or scarification(nicking the seed.) Those two ways may do better for indoor sowing.
For reviews, people leave them mainly on the three sites listed in the link, but in other smaller forums, people do leave reviews too.

I bought Habanero Chocolate seeds on July 2011 and none of them grew. I was surprised. I have been trying for the past 6 months and nothing doing.

Can you help me out here because I tried it outside aswell as inside and none of them grew!!

Replied on: 9:42pm 06-07-2012

Hi Carlos,
I'm sorry you had trouble. You should not of had nothing grow. The germination percentage should be 75-80%. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of the problem.
Inside, did you use heat?
What kind of potting mix are you using?
Did you try to germinate doing the paper towel method? http://www.yougrowgirl.com/2002/10/04/a-quick-and-easy-germination-test/ That works well in a warm spot like on top of the fridge. This like says to roll up the paper towel, but just folding it works fine.
Outside can be tricky. The weather must be very warm and the pot must stay moist until germination.

Are there no potato seeds for sell? I couldn't find any...I would really like to grow some sweet potatoes. BTW, I have made two previous orders w/ y'all and I was super impressed and happy w/ my seeds!

Replied on: 12:19pm 05-16-2012

Glad you were happy with your seeds
Potatoes, which are part of the night shade family (same as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants,) are grown 2 ways from seed potatoes which are potatoes that you plant. The plants make potatoes the same as the potato you started with. There is also true potato seed, but plants grown from those do not make potatoes the same as the parent. They also take 2 seasons to make full sized tubers. So unless you are hybridizing potatoes, it is best to start with seed potatoes not true seed. I will not be carrying potatoes to sell. A place that comes well recommended is at this link http://www.potatogarden.com/
Sweet potatoes are not the same as potatoes. Sweet potatoes are actually part of the Morning Glory family. They are normally raised from slips. Slips are baby plants started from the tubers. Again it is sort of the same as potatoes in that you do not start from actual seed unless you are planning to hybridize since plants from seed vary from the parent. So I will not be selling those either.
A great place to get sweet potato slips is Sand Hill Preservation. It is best to order early to make sure you get what you want. They are done taking orders for this season. http://www.sandhillpreservation.com/pages/sweetpotato_catalog.html
Hope that helps,
Remy

Hi Dee,
Thank you I will try to add more info to those which stray from the norm. Most seeds as you may know follow the same rules for planting.

Hi.

Replied on: 12:16pm 05-16-2012

Hi,
Getting seeds for those plants is often difficult since they are not readily available to buy wholesale. So the only other choice is to grow them, but of course I do not live in the desert. I do offer a few that are definitely for very arid conditions. I will try to add more as I can find them.

I've had great germination from everything I ordered.What would you consider the minimum pot size to be for Remy Rouge?

Thank you,
Gary

Replied on: 9:55pm 04-12-2012

Hi Gary,
So good to hear!
For the Remy Rouge, the smallest I've used is the one in the photo which I'm going to say is about 12" tall. I've not tried smaller. I only stay really small with the tiny dwarfs.

Great variety - all good.

Something that would make your site more easily navigable is a link to "cart". In order to get to my cart I had to add something and then remove it once I got to the page. Love the site otherwise. So excited to find lime basil. It is so bright and wonderful added to a fresh fruit salad - especially with pineapple and strawberries. One of my summer must -haves! thanks and have a great day.

Hi Jodie,
I so glad you like the site and found the Lime Basil!
You can see your cart on each page by clicking on the "View Your Cart" button. The button does show up smaller than the others. (PayPal controls that, not me.) I'll make the wording above the button in another color to make it stand out more.
Thank you,
Remy

My past orders have been great. The tomatoes are ready to be repotted before being set out. Great germination rate.

Hi Pat,
So glad you are happy and have had great germination rates! Starting my tomatoes this year, I really did notice a marked difference between my seeds and some others. I'm not sure why, but I'll keep doing what I'm doing

HI, This is my first time ordering. Do you send a confirrmation email, or just the one from paypal? Also if a seed has special instructions will it be noted upon arrival? Love your site! This is my first time ordering seeds online. Also new to gardening. I hope I'm not getting in over my head.

Replied on: 12:09pm 03-27-2012

Hi Teresa,
We do send an email when the order is shipped.
We do not send instructions, but if you can not find instructions for something, please ask, and I will help. Don't feel you are getting in over your head! Seed starting is normally pretty darn easy. We often make things more complicated than they are And even if a mistake is made, at least it is an inexpensive one, and there are always more successes than failures.

I wonder if it's possible to add a wee 'we don't/do' ship seeds to Canada, please?

Your selection of seeds is wonderful and things that simply aren't available at my Canadian on-line seed stores.

Thanks so very much!

Replied on: 12:01pm 03-27-2012

Hi Mara, I did send you an email, but if anyone else is reading, we do ship to Canada. The info is halfway down the General INFO, SHIPPING, Etc. page under the waving Canadian Flag. http://sampleseeds.com/?page_id=91
