Are your products heirloom/hybrid/organic?

We sell Heirloom, Open Pollinated and Hybrid seeds on our site, as well as Organic varieties. We do not sell any GMO products. Heirloom seeds will be listed as "Heirloom" in the product title and/or description and can be found under the Heirloom drop down menu at the top of our site. Anything that is not designated "Heirloom" can be assumed to be open pollinated varieties. Known hybrid varieties will be designated in the Fast Facts section of individual products. Organic varieties will be clearly labeled in the title of the selection, i.e. Arugula – “Rocket” (Organic) vs. Arugula – “Rocket”

How should I store my unused Seeds?

Proper storage is keeping the seeds in a sealed plastic bag or container to prevent insects, and in a dark, cool and dry place to prevent premature germination and other forms of decay. Do NOT store seeds in the refrigerator! We generally do not recommend storage if at all possible; the best option is to order in the same season that you intend to plant. However if you end up with left over seeds, you should be able to store through to the following season with favorable results. With proper storage, our seeds will lose less than 5% viability per year of storage.

I received my bulbs, now what?

When you receive your shipment of bulbs or perennial roots, we recommend unpacking and planting the products as soon as possible. Bulbs and Perennial Roots are perishable, and as such should not spend extended time in storage if at all possible. If it is necessary to keep bulbs stored for any length of time prior to planting, we recommend that you keep them in a dark, cool and dry location. It is not necessary to refrigerate most bulbs (with the exception of Lilies and Peony roots) but exposure to moisture, heat and light should be limited.

What is my Hardiness Zone?

Before planting, it is important to know your growing zone to ensure success and avoid unwelcome setbacks in your garden. Visit our Plant Hardiness Zone page to learn more.

Is that mold?

Coco retains moisture needed for germination; however, harmless fungus can grow because of this moisture. Sprinkle more carbon or cinnamon on coco to get rid of fungus as it can stunt plant growth. In addition, growing plants hydroponically or in soilless grow medium requires water soluble nutrients in order to be grown successfully. Water soluble nutrients are taken into the plant through their root systems. Over time, these nutrients can accumulate in the grow medium and form white specs, or appear like calcium deposits. You can get rid of this buildup by scraping it off and changing the water and adding moving air to your space.

How do I transplant my seedlings?

"Once your plant is established, you will need to fertilize it. Visit your local garden center for a healthy selection of organic nutrient offerings.

Growing Troubleshooting

Why isn't my Pre-Seeded Grow Kit growing?

Most seeds take about 10 days to germinate, though a handful can take significantly longer until they sprout or show any green. When in doubt, check that the space your plant is growing in gets full sun (direct sunlight for more than 6 hours a day), that the area isn’t chilly for your seed type, and that your planter is sufficiently hydrated for the seed type.
