We are still sending seeds out to new gardeners.

We are currently working on raising some extra money to cover the cost of mailings. At the moment, we plan to send seeds out to people who sign up through June 15. If you sign up after that, we will add you to the list for next year.
If you feel like helping our finances, we would love any contribution. You can find more information here

Late germination
In Western Washington, the crops and plants are at least 2 weeks behind because of the cool/cold spells. My sunflower seeds just germinated and they are in the 2 leave stage. Our cherry trees have very few cherries (still small and greenish) probably because it was so cold when they were flowering. We use no chemicals and I have noticed several dead bumblebees over the last 2 weeks. The rosemaries are at the end of their bloom and they did not have as many bees as in past years. Our garden is in a north-facing spot on the Olympic Peninsula. CathyB
Never got seeds
I have been signed up for this for a while now, and I still have not gotten my seeds.
No seeds either
I signed up June 1, but never did get any seeds. I have sunflowers blooming from birdseed, but there aren't any bees on them. I have tons of flowers from early spring till frost and rarely see bees. I also have a lot of clover in the lawn blooming and a few years ago I couldn't walk barefoot without being stung, but the last 3-4 years, there's not a bee to be seen anywhere. Last year there were a LOT of bumblebees...this year I've seen maybe 2 or 3 all summer, and as a gardener, I'm outside virtually all day, every day, weather permitting. I don't use any pesticides or herbicides. The only insects I've seen on my veggie plants are flies, gnats and that type of thing.

Hello - they really, really take two weeks! And - they are very tiny - at first - just two of the tiniest little round leaves....The ones I planted on 5/11 - only now have 4 sets of leaves - they grow slowly. Be patient!
