We have purchased products from here before and have always been satisfied. The seeds we have planted for our summer garden have already to started to sprout. Can’t wait till they grow a little bigger and it warms up enough to plant them in our outside garden.
Tasty sprouts that have a high sprouting rate.
Nice seed.
Let customers speak for us
from 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
