LOL,
Yes please email me at sales@extremepumpkinstore.com with your email address and I will send you a few pics. If your daughter would like to try a few seeds, I'd be happy to send a few to her. Tom |

Now you guys made me go to Walmart. I bought Rutgers tomato, since
I don't have it. Not a bad amount of seeds in it. I also bought salad blend, contender green bean, brocolli, carrots, and 9 pkts of flowers. |

I had to stop at my nearest Walmart and found that the 20 cent packets of veggies were almost gone. They had lots of 20 cent flowers left.

well you all started it - I had no intention of going to Wall Mart the I saw Marketmore Cucumber and remembered it and straight 8 and poinsetta 76 from years past
so I went buy to look - left with chives, cilantro, peppers, cucumbers, flowers etc etc etc and it was only $5 plus change - I'll need a 1/2 acre just for this stuff Dennis Last edited by mtbigfish; February 13, 2010 at 03:25 AM. |

Yep, I'm a sucker. I picked up some crimson giant radish seed, marketmore cucumber and I will go back to get more! I'm just disappointed that Wally world had the best selection of all the places here.

How has germination been with these? I went to the website listed and noticed the Lawn and Garden company label was listed on there as well. Lowes was selling these last year and I looked up the company as I had never heard of them. Many people did not reccommend buying seed from them for different reasons chief among them- poor germination.
