I started planting in my yard to replace my grass. I’d rather pick food and flowers than mow. I have limited knowledge but I went with the ‘try it’ method and learned a lot in just 1 year. First year I just tilled or covered over areas with soil and planted seeds. My best seeds had come from the BPS company. This year, I ordered everything from them (garden and flowers). They are so kind, answer questions, and help you enjoy the process of learning. I just recently discovered Floret and ordered some seeds, so I’m excited to add them to the Blue Pumpkin Seed Co set. First attempt at starting plants this year too, so I expect I’ll be learning! Excited to dive into all the resources you have here. One thing I would love from companies is to be able to download the seed information from my order. All the information is on the websites, but then I have to type it into my spreadsheet to figure out when to start planting and what the temperature should be and what I bought and things like that. All that data already exists so would be great just to have it and spreadsheet format to download. Glad to have found you and I appreciate your commitment to preserving the knowledge and varieties.

Germination rate was crazy! I think they only ship in Europe though. https://www.fontanaseeds.com

Thanks]]> Sounds like US Customs is cracking down and being vigilant according to Robert Parson’s website. I’d hat to have my seeds destroyed trying to get into Colorado 😢😢 Any recommended US sweet pea producers with the varieties close to Robert’s? Thanks

I have lost it (of course) but wonder if you were still distributing for this courageous lady who is supporting her family with this business. Thanks Isobel

I am not in any way affiliated with them, but would love for you to consider listing WildSeed Farms, my go-to for wildflower seeds. https://www.wildseedfarms.com/
