Great service, great seeds and so good to buy close to home and proven.

I dipped my toes into a local supplier for seeds and haven't been disappointed. I brought 6 packets of different varieties from Cicada seeds some 4 weeks ago and have them germinated now ready to put in the ground in another couple of weeks. I thoroughly recommend the product and I have the feeling knowledge behind what they sell is deep and accessible. What more could you ask for. Cheers
