If you are referring to the seeds from Georgia I think they are legit. It is a private school selling to raise money for educational purposes which would maybe explain why the seeds are so inexpensive. I am not certain of any of this but confident enough to order 4 more varieties from them. |

It seems that SeedsNow is having a flash 30% off your entire order, at least it appears so to me but I placed my order Sunday (before the sale.) I'm not sure whether it's giving me that offer because I remain logged in, or whether it appears to everyone, but that's a nice discount. https://www.seedsnow.com/

Thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and ordered some pepper and radish seeds. Their shipping is reasonable as well.
I have a quick question if you or anyone here has used them before and if their seed is usually true to type. I've had bad experiences from some vendors. The pictures for Big Jim and Santa Fe Grand look a little different from what I've seen for these varieties, but it is hard to know if they are pictures from their own plants, etc. I guess I'll see next year. Thanks. Quote:

I see what you mean, though, I Googled the Santa Fe Grande and most of them look shorter and blunter. Bonnie's version, though, looks even more thin and tapered! https://images.app.goo.gl/zZ1AvW1DQmKJMFv98 |

I'm still happy to give them a try, but more wary these days having grown out some Poblanos from a well known vendor that turned out to be some type of small bell pepper. |

My seeds (and seed potatoes) arrived yesterday, but I had little time to go through everything last night other than a quick count of the packets and a quiet "um, I hope you like beans and peas" to my sweetie. I got sample size packs of several beans, from Scarlet Runner to bush-type green and burgundy beans, plus I already had gotten yard long beans from another source. I think they'll grow more successfully than a lot of the brassica that like cooler weather than we'll have much of, though I do have one cabbage in the mix, and still want to try broccoli raab that I somehow forgot to add to my order. |

I ended up ordering Tatume and Zucchino Rampicante from Baker Creek (rareseeds.com). Both can be picked young and used like summer squash but neither have hollow stems - supposed to be more resistant to squash vine borer. We'll see in 2020!

I'm just wondering if they're selling seeds right now that were packed for 2019 or if they're sending ones packed for 2020. Just curious as I've never thought about that before because I usually order around New Year.

This is not exactly a coupon or key code, but we have a new Kickstarter Project active until November 17th.
It includes discounted larger packet sizes, and it is a great way for folks outside the US to get our seeds (we can not take orders outside the US at our website). The 5 varieties featured are Agi Red, Lucky Agi, Green Bee, Creamsicle Grape and Aleppo Peppers. Agi Red |

Burpee is having a sale on a variety of fall bulbs, especially tulips. When you add a seed packet from the new 2020 line, the entire order will ship free.
Not much help if you are in the northeast . A small selection of garlic is also on sale, but I can't speak to the quality or value. - Lisa |
