I purchased provider snap bush beans and had zero germination from 30 seeds from Southern Exposure Seed Ex . At the same time I germinated provider seeds from High Mowing Seeds and all 25 seeds germinated. I did the same with Marjoram seeds zero germination from Southern Exposure Seeds Ex and 100% germination from High Mowing Seeds.

First time ordering from them and it will be my last! I will stick with Seeds Savers and Baker Creek. I placed an order a week and a half ago, order has not shipped yet and I am paying or shipping. I have emailed them 4 times over the past 4 days, and no response back from them. I have called and I just get their recording, no way to leave a message. I kept calling and calling and finally got a hold of some girl. Needless to say, she was not very nice, poor customer service, didn't even care that she was ignoring emails. Then she told me it is normal for them to sit on orders for a few weeks before they bother to ship. WOW!!! What an eye opener, I will NEVER buy from them again!!!!!!

The classic seed varieties most suitable for the mid-Atlantic region is the thing I appreciate most about SESE.

We were given seed by "Granny" years ago, and always called our beans "Granny beans." These are the most versatile bean. They grow in bunches that are easy to pick and are very prolific. We usually plant the seeds in the ground in mid-April and have beans from mid-June until late September. We can/freeze them green and let some dry (better flavor than common pinto beans). They have one string on each side that is super easy to remove as you "break" them. We will keep producing seed to pass down to the next generation.

I just received my seed packets (artichoke, Brussels sprouts, arugula, and dill). They arrived safe and sound in a padded envelope. They arrived on time and as expected. Each seed packet has instructions on how to sow the seeds. I look forward to giving them a try this season. Thank you Southern Exposure Seed Exchange.

Last year (summer 2013) I was renting in the city. The only yard space to grow anything was at the end of a long, sloping driveway where plows had pushed the snow and the salt runoff there had accumulated for years. It was far from ideal!
The "Hazel Field Farm" Tomatoes were the only ones which grew well and produced lots of tomatoes in spite of the horrible soil conditions. 90% of all of my other tomatoes - and 100% of every other vegetable planted in that area -died before producing anything at all. Hazel Field, however, grew bushy and gave heavy yields of large, red tomatoes, even though the plants didn't grow higher than 3-4 feet and died off before the first hard frost.
I was very impressed with the strength of these tomato plants to overcome such adversity!
This year I live in the country and am going to plant these again. I can imagine how great they will be when planted in very favorable conditions!

There is no such place as Pungo Creek, VA on the Eastern Shore. Therefore, this corn could not have been grown there for 165 years! False Advertising.

THE GERMINATION OF THESE SEEDS WAS SO FAR BELOW THE USDA REQUIREMENT THAT IT WAS PITIFUL

I liked their offerings and prompt efficient shipment, and the seeds were in good shape. But I've been having problems I've never had before and each one has one common denominator- seeds bought from Southern Seed Exchange. I bought some Canterbury Bells seeds that never germinated. OK, they're difficult...but the same week I successfully germinated gloxinias from seeds which is much harder, so I know what I'm doing. Then I got some pepper seeds and the leaves were curled in a way that looked like stress. I thought that maybe I had given them too much fertilizer right off- unlikely since I've never accidentally done that before- and as they grow I've had to conclude they have Tobacco Mosaic Virus. I never have these problems with seeds from other sources, so I'm really wondering about SSE. Then I saw the other review on this site. Who reviews a seed outlet without planting the seeds?!? That sounds like a planted review (no pun intended), and those are a sure sign of real problems. Fake reviews are a bussiness' way of admitting that they can't or won't solve a problem. So, I think people need to hear, "Buyer Beware" with this one. At a minimum I would recommend starting with a small order before spending real money to see if you have odd problems suddenly.
