Ordered from 3 different suppliers at the same time as recommended by Self Sufficient Me…
These guys were the best packaged and clearest instructions.
I like the resealable packs too.
My only suggestion would be to offer traceable postage.
Glad you loved your seed Michelle! Larger orders are always sent with tracking and we can only afford to offer free postage on small orders by sending them as large letters :)
Happy growing
FAQ's
What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are traditional, non-hybrid seeds passed down through generations. These seeds are open-pollinated, meaning they naturally produce plants true to type, preserving the traits of the parent plant.
Heirlooms are celebrated for their unique flavours, vibrant colours, diverse shapes, and higher nutritional content compared to modern hybrids. They are also non-GMO, making them ideal for sustainable gardening.
A key benefit of heirloom seeds is their ability to be saved and replanted year after year, unlike many hybrid seeds. This makes them vital for ensuring the security of our global food supply. By growing and harvesting heirloom seeds, growers help preserve genetic diversity, protect agricultural heritage, and support a resilient food system for future generations.
How long will these seeds last?
Over time, the germination rate of seeds will decline. For optimal results, it's best to plant seeds within 18 months of purchase if they are stored properly.
Some varieties will last a lot longer, so you can still plant seeds that are much older, just be prepared for a lower germination rate.
How should I store these seeds?
While it's what makes them grow in the garden, moisture, heat and sunlight are the main factors that reduce the lifespan of stored seeds.
Each of our kits are sealed and include moisture absorbers, as well as storage instructions.
To minimise loss in quality, store kits sealed in a dark, dry, cool location. A cupboard is normally sufficient short-term (1 – 2 years). For longer periods (2 – 5+ years), we recommend you store our kits in your fridge crisper.
How much food can these seeds grow?
While it is hard to provide a specific answer, you can grow LOADS of food from our seed kits. More than enough for a family, with plenty to share with friends!
Seeds are by far the most economical way to grow food when compared to the cost of buying seedlings.
With the cost of fresh produce continuing to soar, you can grow thousands of dollars worth of fresh food with this seed kit.
Can I save seeds from my harvest to replant next season?
Yes, since our seeds are open-pollinated heirloom varieties, you can save seeds from your harvest to replant in future seasons, ensuring a self-sufficient and sustainable garden for generations.
