The catalogue
Shop seeds
Vegetables, herbs and flowers, bought in bulk from growers we can name and packed by hand in Mustang, Oklahoma. Every lot is germination-tested before a single packet is filled, and the test date is printed on the back of the packet.
Buy a garden, not a list
If you know what you want, the departments below will get you there faster. If you’re planning a bed and want it to work, start here — each collection is chosen to be planted together, in one season, in one space.

Rare & Hard to Find
Varieties we could only buy in small lots. When a lot is gone it may be a year before it comes back, or it may not come back at all.
Departments
Medicinal & Useful Plants
Plants grown for a purpose beyond the table — teas, tinctures, dyes and fibre.

How our seed is sold
Tested, not assumed
Every lot is germination-tested before packing. The rate, the test date and the lot number are printed on the packet, so you know what you’re planting and how old it is.
Counted, not scooped
Packet contents are listed on every product page — by count for large seed, by weight for the fine stuff. No vague “generous packet” language.
Sown with instructions
Depth, spacing, soil temperature, days to germination and days to harvest are on the packet and on the page. Longer guidance lives in our growing guides.
Packed by hand
Orders leave Mustang, Oklahoma within two business days. Free shipping over $35.
Questions we get asked
How many seeds come in a packet?
It depends entirely on the crop. A packet of lettuce may hold five hundred seeds; a packet of beans holds fifty. Every product page states the exact count or weight for that variety — check the page rather than assuming a standard packet, because there isn’t one.
Do you test your seed for germination?
Yes, on every lot before we pack it. The germination percentage and the date of the test are printed on the packet along with the lot number. Seed is a living thing and it loses viability with age — a packet with no test date on it is asking you to take someone’s word for it.
Are your seeds heirloom, hybrid or GMO?
Each product page says which it is. We carry mostly open-pollinated and heirloom varieties, because those are the ones you can save seed from and get the same plant next year. Where a hybrid is simply the better plant, we carry it and say so plainly. We do not sell genetically modified seed — it isn’t available to home gardeners in any case.
Is the seed treated or coated?
No. Nothing we sell is chemically treated, fungicide-coated or pelleted. If that ever changes for a particular variety, it will say so on the product page in plain words.
When will my order ship?
Within two business days of your order, year round. We pack every order by hand here in Mustang, Oklahoma. In late winter, when everyone orders at once, we will tell you on the front page if we are running behind rather than letting you find out from the tracking.
What does shipping cost?
A flat rate on orders under $35, and free above it. Seed is light, so a large order costs us little more to send than a small one — which is why the threshold exists.
What if my seeds don’t come up?
Write to us and we will replace the packet. We test before we pack, so a failure is usually weather, soil temperature or planting depth rather than the seed — but sorting out which is our job, not yours. Tell us what you did and when, and we will either send you a new packet or tell you honestly what went wrong.
Can I keep seed I don’t plant this year?
Yes. Keep it cool, dark and dry — a sealed jar in a cupboard beats a shed or a windowsill by years. Most vegetable and flower seed is good for three to five seasons stored that way, though germination drops a little each year. Onion, parsnip and parsley are the short-lived exceptions and are best bought fresh.
Do you ship to every state?
We ship across the United States. A small number of species are restricted in particular states under noxious-weed rules, and where that applies it is noted on the product page and the item will not ship to that address. We do not ship internationally.

About buying seed from us
Most garden seed sold online passes through several hands before it reaches you, and by the time it is in a packet nobody can tell you how old it is or how well it germinated. We buy in bulk from growers and wholesalers we can name, test each lot ourselves, and fill the packets here rather than reselling somebody else’s. That is the whole difference, and it is the reason the test date is printed where you can see it.
The catalogue is deliberately small. We would rather carry forty varieties we can vouch for than four hundred we have never grown. It leans toward plants that earn their space — vegetables that crop reliably, herbs you will actually cut and use, and flowers that either feed something or are worth looking at for more than a fortnight. Alongside those we keep a shorter list of unusual varieties bought in small lots, because those are the seeds gardeners write to us about and the ones worth passing over a fence to a neighbour.
If you are not sure where to begin, take one of the collections above and plant the whole thing. They are built so the varieties inside want the same soil, the same water and the same season, which is the part that catches most people out in a first year. And if something doesn’t come up, write to us. We would rather replace a packet and keep a gardener than win an argument about soil temperature.
