I love this seed companies catalogue, and just a month before they
answered all my OP question by e-mail. I have had no experience with
them. There was word on an internet site (a list of catalogs and how
they rate) that said this seed company was terribly slow to send
orders, somethings taking 10 month to fill. I decide that I would
give them a chance, since that was just one opinion.
Then when I called (2 weeks after placing my order) they said they
could not tell me anything about my order; which seeds they would
be able to fill and which I would have to find else where for at
least 8 weeks or more. By then it would be time to plan some of my
cold crops and begin starts inside.
If they could at least give me an idea which varieties wouldn't be
filled then, I could at least order them from another company. But to
scrabble for seed when I'm trying to plant !
I will call one more time, (I would like to do business with them)
and ask how much of my $300. order they can handle, but if I still
can't get an answer, I will sadly drop my order from them, and just
enjoy their rich catalog.
