Heirloom Vegetable Seeds Non GMO Survival Seed Kit - Part of Our Legacy and Heritage - 50 Varieties 100% Naturally Grown- Best for Gardeners Who Raise Their Own Healthy Food

I bought this product in 2017(It's 2026 now) and I am still growing from these seeds and the seeds collected from plants these seeds have grown. There was a link to a website with a information about growing each plant. It really helped me go from starter gardener to putting a serious dent in my grocery bill. I literally just finished using the last of the original onion seeds this January. There are so many types of seeds to experiment with. If I had to buy a pack of seeds each for all of the different plants that I have tried, it would cost me hundreds of dollars. This is a fantastic kit for people who want to grow a little bit of everything but have a small yard instead of a farm.

I've started doing my test grow for this year and frankly, I'm SHOCKED. I always set 6 seeds of each type to see how the germination rate is. Usually, my early test grows are iffy. MANY of them are at 6/6 even though we lost power for 5 days so they didn't have either heat or light and our home got very chilly. Frankly, I'm very impressed! We have 12 acres and are planning to get as much out this year as we can. I will probably order a second bag because the test growth with these seeds is so much higher than the other company we usually order through (which btw costs SUBSTANTIALLY more $). I will post pictures/updates as I have them. *update* They were growing REALLY well... until they were killed by a late frost last week **SOBS** now I have to start all over! Thankfully there are plenty of seeds to replant! *update* #2. After replanting, everything is growing well. Everything in the new pictures are from this kit.. EXCEPT for the flowers, sunflowers and the lentils. I have now purchased 4 of these bags and given them to neighbors who all agree.. the price for so many varieties offers a big savings! *update* #3. Holy cow, nearly everything is still growing strong and producing like CRAZY! Talk about a great bargain. I've bought two of these sets... I will probably buy another two for next year. We are planning on adding another two acres to our garden because our friends/family/neighbors seem to appreciate the veggies! Update: I bought these multiple bags the last several years. But I wont buy this year!! Why? They started out at under twenty dollars. Then they were twenty five. Now FIFTY... in less than three years when money is the tightest it's been in a decade? No way!! I wont buy from companies that double the price of necessary products just to make a bigger profit margin in tough economic times. We grow a huge garden to reduce our food budget, you doubling your price... just lost a customer.

I did not buy these to use immediately but to store for any long term emergencies that could arise. I have grown plants from seeds for the last 10 years and have seen many different packaging situations over the years. These are sealed which will help for long term storage in the freezer. I did double bag with ziplocks just for good measure. The variety here is very good. If needed a wide range of plants can be grown. If I went and purchased these individually I would have basically picked the same plants and seeds. Obviously the biggest draw to these is the heirloom variety of seeds. Heirlooms are harder to grow due to the lack of disease resistance and the germination rate tends to be less than hybrids, but the advantage is these seeds can be recycled year after year. Just make sure they do not cross pollinate and are dried properly. There are countless articles and videos on how to do this properly everywhere. This packaging is appropriate for use now or long term. It is packed for extended storage and has everything you need at a reasonable price. This is a must have just in case things go poorly.

Just put in my spring seed starts this weekend and have over 30% germination in 48 hours with almost 50% in 72 hours. I started them in peat pots for smaller direct transfer plants and transplantable pots with peat moss/compost mix for larger plants such as tomatoes, melons, peppers, etc. I have them in a tray on a seed heating mat with dome covers with good natural and grow lights. So far all look strong and healthy. I also direct sowed some kale and chard for early cool weather gardening but haven't seen those come up yet, although the weather has been tricky and unseasonably cold this year. The variety is lovely, but beans (fresh and dried) and corn are strangely absent. Also, they appear to be well packaged and will last for quite some time; all in all a great bargain for delicious eating.

Received my package in the mail today and was pleased with the great packaging. All seeds are sealed as shown in the item description and are contained within a larger plastic envelope. Very neat and very well organized and absolutely no need for a fancy tin or otherwise. I am not knocking other kits out there but I wouldn't want my seeds stored in a metal tin that could rust anyway. I have a nice plastic ammo case that is supposed to be moisture proof that I will use. The seeds are also very clean and seem to be previously stored and dried properly so I have no concerns about any more than 15% sprouting failure unless it is my fault. I don't know where Home and Garden America gets their stock from but everything seems to be quality. Naturally I haven't planted yet but unless I have some sort of catastrophic failure I don't foresee myself deducting a star. Thanks for the extra tomato seeds. I have never planted a golden variety tomato and probably never would have if I wasn't given the complimentary packet. I downloaded the PDF from the website and it is a really good planting guide. The pictures are a fantastic feature as well. They are much nicer than just a bunch of text and they make reading the guide sort of enjoyable. Considering it is really just a collection of instructions that is a bit strange lol. I'm about to throw it on my tablet so I have it for quick reference when I am away from home. So quick shipping, good price, great packaging and great product support. The only thing that would make it better would be if Mr.Harmon came and installed my fencing and irrigation for me but..... I will probably update my review at the end of the growing season. Thanks

Wow, this is one of those things that I am telling all my friends about. I bought several packs of seeds at my local nursery for 2.99 a pack and also gave Mary's heirloom seeds a shot. Both those were expensive, bulky and frankly had poor germination rate. I love that these come in little plastic zip locks. They have so many seeds. We did my garden and my son's and have at least 1/2 left. I love that you can save the seeds from them, but as cheap and easy as they are don't know why you wouldn't just buy a 2nd. Almost 100% germination rate. I screwed up because planted the premium seeds first and had such a poor germination that I planted these a little thicker. Big mistake as these almost all came up. I ended up taking seedlings from overplanting and furnished friends with vegetable starts. Just terrific and really good varieties. Several different of everything. Would cost 100-150 to buy at store. I have never been paid for a review and I purchased these and will purchase again next spring, maybe the fall.

So far so good it's still early but the lettuce sales cabbages and radishes all are fantastic . Sadly I didn't receive and DVD and can not download th pdf. So that's a little bit of a downer but over all so far I'm pleases . I'm not a novice gardener so this is fantastic however I did get doubles of something that we won't even use and singles of other that I thought would be more obvious to give more of ie types of tomatoes pepper vs kohlrahbi and rutabaga . We aren't a huge fan of those so only planted a few . Excited to see how my melons squash and clues turn out! Will update later on. Edit- so it's.been a few years and I.have finally tried all of.the seed... only half were worth the effort. I.wish the germination rate was better...
