I ordered some Ice Lettuce for a summer crop, but it was an absolute failure. I started them indoors under ideal conditions, but the seeds did not germinate. I emailed Pinetree, expecting a refund o... See more

Most of your garden seeds are germinated and growing healthy in my small back yard gardening. I would give you a 5 stars, but few of seeds (Watercress)didn't germinated. All my herbs are thriving in... See more

While I love supporting local/regional companies, and Pine Tree is super friendly and efficient, I am disappointed this year with the poor germination of many of the seeds. I am a very seasoned garden... See more

I like the selection and the prices are reasonable. Plus germination rates are better than some of the packaged seeds in stores. We have vegetables growing year round. We save seeds and buy loose seed... See more

Great company

Their prices are very reasonable and the seed packets have enough seeds for most home gardens. They have a great selection of vegetables and flowers, and their shipping is prompt. I order from them every year.

Pinetree offers great value

Pinetree offers great value. Packets of seeds reasonably sized and priced, good prompt service. I've made them my go-to place for 20 years.

Ltllle Tyke cucumbers

The little tykes in the third package(the one that you gave me to test the germination) had fairly good results. I put 9 seeds in moist paper towel in a baggie, and 5 days later there were six with tails and 3 soggy seeds that never did sprout. The Parisian took a little longer to sprout, but then they really grew. Unfortunately, I never got to taste them, because some-bunny ate them to the ground when the plants were a foot tall! Now adding a two foot tall strip of one inch chicken wire to bottom of my six foot tall garden fence! The plants that grew from the sprouted seeds were not what I'm used to from a Little Tyke. They were stunted and got some awful brown blight that killed them before they had a chance to make very many cukes. Still can't be sure if it's the seed or my soil. I've grown tykes for several years and they are usually strong and productive.
I have a few seeds of both left. I'm going to give them a go in the hoop house. I will let you know how it goes. The soil in there is mainly compost. Has anyone else commented on Little Tykes? Thank you for trying to help me figure things out. Everyone there at Pinetree has always been so helpful. Of all the seeds over the many years I've been a customer, these are the only ones I've had a problem with. Everything else this year did beautifully.
Thanks for everything, Sheryl

don't always germinate

I have always appreciated the prices as well as the good selection of seeds on pinetree garden seeds.
I have discovered many new things, and I also like not having to buy a large package of seeds that I am still experimenting with.
However, I have found that occasionally, the seeds fail to germinate. There have been a few things that I ended up having to buy elsewhere--for example, the sugar beets, and just about any radish seed.
So, I've gotten leery of getting anything that is important to me to

Any of the very few issues since ordering from Pinetree over 10 years ago have been reconciled immediately. Pinetree has varieties I don't see else where and in amounts that give me a chance to experiment with. Good job!

Excellent and Reliable Company

I have been ordering from Pinetree for many years. They offer a great selection at very reasonable prices. They are my "go to" source, where I only order unique products from other companies.

Inexpensive, quality seeds in practical sized packages

I have ordered from Pinetree Garden Seeds for many years. I cannot think of a single complaint. They have always filled my orders promptly and accurately with seeds that give me beautiful produce to help fill the pantry shelves. I would definitely (and do many times) recommend this company to anyone needing seeds. I am drawn to them because their prices are lower than most and many of the packages have fewer seeds, because most of us even with large gardens cannot use all the seeds in each package every year.
