Started 2 four inch pots. Excellent germ rate. Plants were doing great. Put them outside and the voles devoured them along with a 12x12 parsley plant, a 14" 🍅 and too many peppers to count. Very depressing!
Seeds arrived quickly. I've had very good germination rate so far. I always get a great product and have never had an issue. Great company and the U-Tube channel is excellent.
French Thyme
I planted MIGardener’s French Thyme expecting a modest little herb. Instead, I got a Mediterranean show-off.
The seeds sprouted fast, settled in confidently, and now pump out fragrant leaves that smell like a Provençal kitchen. Tough, tidy, and unfussy, it thrives on neglect and delivers serious flavor—eggs, veggies, soups, everything improves.
It’s the quiet garden hero that shows up daily and makes you look like you know what you’re doing. Plant it once. Use it forever. 🌿
Seeds look good. Already have germination in seeds started indoors and bound for my kitchen garden when established.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
This variety was excellent for me for cooking. I needed to pick fewer leaves and chopping was a breeze. The spinich felt more succulent and thicker than the American (smaller spoon shaped leaves). I would use it for cooking and keep the smaller leaved varieties for raw salad eating. My weather was a tricky early on and off again spring and winter pattern, so I think that triggered early bolting, but even still. It was pretty hands off and worth it.
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
