Seeds from WinterSown

I know many of your probably already know about WinterSown but for those of you that have not you must check them out. This is the first year I have requested seeds from them and I they completely blew away my expectations. By simply sending them an self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) and an optional donation they will send back some seeds of your choosing. I have gotten tired of my boring tomatoes I have been growing from the limited selections at local nursery and garden center so I chose the following: Husky Red Cherry, Persey Tomato, Red Brandywine, New Yorker, Mini Gold, Green Zebra, Tommy Toes, and they also sent me some Parsley which was not on my list though I was planning on growing this year.
They also included a pamphlet (mirrored) providing a long but not very labor intensive method of how to save your own tomato seeds which was yet another added bonus. I will be sure to save some seeds and send many of my extras back their way at the end of the season.

I can tell you I’m not impressed with their website skills. Someone who codes their page to all open in a new window needs to go back to web master school. Otherwise the web layout isn’t too bad though, and the information seems to be good.

I just got my package from Winter Sown and oh my it was far beyond my expectations! I received 9 packets of tomatoes, 1 of peppers and a full package of chives. Such a great site, I have already started putting together a package of extra seeds to send back!
