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

Some of the winter squash seeds did not germinate. Since I am a seasoned gardener, I don't believe my technique was lacking. Everything else I ordered was great and I look forward to next year's growing and ordering more Pinetree seeds and supplies.

Thanks,
Paula Schmidt

My first seed order of the year - reasonable, dependable, good variety!

I don't have a greenhouse, but use our sunny big living room window and a seed-starting heating mat to get our gardens started every year. For MANY years Pinetree Garden Seeds is my longest and first order, thanks to your reasonable and good variety of seeds for vegetables, herbs, perennial and annual flowers.

Some of my favorites on my 2017 Pinetree order:

Fortex Pole Beans, which I grow up home-made 5'x 2' tomato cages
made from concrete reinforcing wire with a 6" grid
New Red Fire lettuce, which is still going gangbusters. It produces over
a long period, slow to bolt, and is 2-colored ruffly burgundy and
green, and tastes and looks beautiful in salads
Jericho Romaine lettuce, tall and crispy.
Sungold Tomatoes, our best cherry-sized tomato this year, very sweet
Nasturtium Gleam, which trails over our back hill in a sunny spot in
bright orange, red, and gold colors, ignored by deer.
Brandywine Red tomato (grown from seed I saved from last year)

Careful

Sometimes, or for some varieties, the germination % for Pinetree's seeds seems pretty low. However their prices are always good, their service excellent, and it's nice to get just a season's worth of seed, instead of paying for a packet with seeds enough for years, but that don't retain viability well.

Season 2017

Some seeds are very good growing every year. Some are too touchy to the conditions of that year. I found the pot tomato's to have very thick skin.

Great prices and they had everything I needed as well as some items I didn't know I needed until I found them on their website. The crafts and gifts category is fantastic. Website and catalog both quite informative.

Pinetree Garden Seeds has a great selection of seed varieties for the
average size garden! I also love the book selections and really appreciate the book sales in the catalog. I have purchased seed for many years from Pinetree and have always had excellent germination with all of my purchases. The product descriptions in the catalog are very valuable since I do in fact read these very carefully while making decisions for an order. The only wish I have is for an alternative catalog available in LARGE PRINT for some of us older folks who can't read tiny print as well as we used to.... Thanks for your great Company!

Seeds Failed

No rude conduct--Customer service staff always polite but so disappointed in the seeds. Ordered a variety of vegies plus nastursiums. Only a few seeds sprouted but did not survive and only one nastursium planted actually grew. I won't be reordering.

Pinetree ships orders quickly and has seed packets sized appropriately for home gardeners. I don't need 100 zucchini seeds like other companies might provide. The prices are reasonable and the number of products available is excellent. One time I asked about the germination rate of a green bean seed I had problems with and they quickly refunded my money for those seed packages. Customer service has always taken care of any concerns I might have. I freely recommend Pinetree to my friends and neighbors.

Probably 20 years I have been ordering seed from Pinetree Seeds. There have been no germination problems, my orders were correct and timely and the resulting produce was excellent. One time I got someone else's order by mistake. When I called Pinetree Customer Service, they thanked me, told me to keep the seed and they would send another order to the party that ordered the seeds. I even got a thank you note from the people the seed was meant for. The prices are excellent too.

Good prices

Good prices, good selection, had a mix-up on seeds - which they refunded, but they need to step up their quality control.

Great seed company

I've been buying seeds from this company for over 10 years. I like the selection and always find something new and different to try. The prices are good and everything arrives quickly.
I like doing business with small companies and this one is very customer oriented.
