I have been picking up seeds for 2023 where I can find them. Let;s post about our experiences.
Jungs
I bought 450 Illini Xtra Sweet Corn, hybrid
and
Winter Luxury Pie Pumpkin - 25 seeds, just bc.
Easy to use website, and the package came in with about a week. Since they are saving seed in Wisconsin, which is similar to my climate, I figured the seeds would do well.
Baker Creek
Chinese Red Noodle Bean
Taiwan Yard-Long Bean
King of the Garden Lima Bean
Cylindra Beet (Formanova Beet)
Cumin
Takane Ruby Buckwheat
Purpurea Echinacea
Cherokee Trail of Tears Bean
They sent me a free pack of seeds, which seems to be "the thing" now, but I forgot what they are.
Again, easy to use website, and the seeds were shipped in about a week.
Since they are saving seed in Missouri, which is similar to my climate, I figured the seeds would do well.
Burpee
VERY DISAPPOINTING!!
I got an email advertising a B1G1 seed sale. I tried 3x since last Thursday to get the site to accept any kind of an order. I ONLY tried again today bc an additional email said that the sale was extended one more day. I had to correct my Billing address twice, kept kickout out my corrections.
MOST of the seed that I was interested either wasn't available Yet, or sold out. I kept getting the message, "Notify me when seed is available." It wouldn't allow me to log in and give my email address. Very frustrating!
My online buying experience is that most places will allow you to order as GUEST, even if you have registered with them. I do this often with STAPES bc I have several accounts with them.
Burpee has been around for a LLLLOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGG time. IT people are worth their weight in gold. Maybe they should replace theirs.
I ended up ordering 2 packages of Impatiens seeds, ONLY bc I decided that I liked them better than wax begonias in my flower beds.
Anybody else got reports?
