Let customers speak for us
from 9265 reviewsThis garlic arrived quickly. All large, healthy looking cloves. Sprouted after about 7 days and is approximately 6 inches tall at the moment
They arrived in perfect condition. Planted, and now we wait.
You won't be disappointed. I promise
Nice sized bulbs all in good shape!
Came in individual cloves and all healthy. 90 percent were large and perfect seed stock with a few smaller ones. Couldn’t be happier
It’s the easiest thing in the world and these folks supply good seeds. It grows over the winter and requires practically no care. I recommend it to anyone who loves gardening and misses it during the winter.
The shallots y'all sent were beautiful . I'm sure my next harvest will be beautiful and delicious . Thanks
I appreciate the extra shallots I received for the sale !
Bulbs were dry, perfect to separate cloves. 1st time planting this variety. Very pleased so far.
Garlic arrived quickly. Nice healthy large cloves. Sprouted and came up in under 2 weeks. It's growing nicely and is about 6" tall right now
I love your seeds. Thank you so much for providing such a valuable resource during this horrible time with the food supply. Grow your own groceries!!!!...
I received the Shallots, they are very large and beautiful. I planted them and now we wait until they are ready for harvest, late spring or early summer.
A few cloves weren’t in good condition and I ended up with quite a few small cloves. I also ordered Shallots and I was disappointed that neither came with planting instructions. Even though I have planted them for many years, I couldn’t remember the correct spacing and depth for the garlic.
This Siberian is the best! Showed up in great shape, love this stuff!
Grow organic never let's us down! Russian Red garlic is fragrant and delicious!
Big garlic bulbs with large cloves arrived. I planted a couple of weeks ago and they are already starting to sprout!!!!
