This is my second purchase from Seedville. I am having an extremely high germination rate from the first batch. That is why I went back to buy additional different seeds from them. This batch just arrived so I am just getting started setting them up to germinate. Each package comes with a cute label giving me the plants germination instructions. I’m getting better than 95% success rate. The company is very quick, professional & easy to work with. They have a very large selection of seeds available to work with. So much better than any display from a Brick & Mortar store.
