Renee's garden seeds
 

I must put out a good word for this site. I liked her last company before she sold it, and I like her new one too. One thing I really like, the packets of multiple varieties. As a new gardener, years ago, I was overwhelmed with the varieties in all the catalogs and could never narrow my list down to one type of anything. Combo packs like three cabbages, or three beans in one pack can enable you to try several varieties without the expense of buying three separate packs of everything, a nice feature.

I agree- my order to Renee's this year included an heirloom lettuce combo and a summer squash trio.
It's an inexpensive way to trial multiple varieties and to use more of a seed packet before the germination is kaput, with veggies like lettuce that don't keep that long.

Topping this thread to express my disappointment in Renee's Garden seed packet. I paid $3.00 for Sun Gold Cherry's and the packet only had 14 seeds in it! Seriously? I felt ripped off and dont' expect I will be buying any more of their seed packets.

I was also a bit dissapointed in the quantity of seeds in my Sungold packet from Renee's finding 15. I was expecting to see the more typical 30 or so. [B]However, in fairness, there is a link in the left column of each page on the site that tells the number of seeds for each variety.[/B] Sungold indicates 15 to 20. I did not look at that until after I ordered.
