Seed Company: Ferry-Morse

This is the only seed company I will never buy from again. They always have abysmal germination rates. I buy seed from over 20 companies and this is the only one I will never buy from again. If you’re at a big box store, buy burpee instead.

The seeds never disappoint me. I tried the plantlings and I recommend growing them a little bigger inside before placing them outside. They have a nice knowledge base of articles with good tips.

These are sold by many of the big box stores at reasonable prices. I am a little picky on the varieties but the ones that I’ve purchased have always had reasonable germination and been true (variety expected was what came up) to packaging and free of disease and pests. I usually plant a mix of heirloom and F1 hybrids and they offer both. No personal preference for organic and unless you are growing soybeans or corn, GMO is not a big issue either for me.
