Great plant

This plant was very healthy arrived carefully packaged. Unfortunately it died due to vine borers but I will be purchasing again next year!

Great Squash

Plant arrived healthy and packaged very securely so as to not break the plant. No transplant shock (NE GA) and it took right away. Very satisfied with the experience. Highly recommend!

seedling plants

These arrived in a very good package. Over all the plants have been growing nicely. It was one of the only places I found that I could order just one kind of plant and a very special one at that! Thank you for carrying this special kind!
