Default Italian Cooks Seed Company

The Adam's family (my neighbors) ordered from this place recently and I was wondering if anyone has ever ordered from them? If so what their experience was. I don't trust or believe the neighbors....but the prices are fabulous...$1.99 and most packets are over 300 seeds, some say 600.

I just thought I'd mention that they are affiliated with Gourmet Seed International/Harvest Moon.

Thank you for the info Suze, I didn't know of the affiliation. I am glad you let me know. Puts things in a different prospective.
I was thinking mostly for the Youth Center Community Garden. The high seed quantity would allow all 150 families several plants of each variety if we order. I already have about 10 varieties for them (ones I saved from last year mostly that I will not be growing again, but are perfect for people used to perfect round blemish free tomatoes), but it seems I keep wanting to add to their variety as well as my own.

I've never ordered from Italian cooks, but I've had great results with all the Italian seeds I've gotten from Seeds From Italy; www.growitalian.com.
The packs are very generous and they have great customer service.

This winter I've ordered from both Gourmet Seed and another of their companies, Italian Seed & Tool. I've gotten good service and a lot of seeds, mostly Bavicchi. This is the first year that I grow any of their seeds, so I'll give a seed quality report later in the season.

Just saw this comment Richard, and there's only one way for sure that you'll know it's me e ating dark bittersweet chocolate. Yes?

And recently I got the Gourmet Seed Co and Italain Tool catalogs sent me me as well. Read through. Still wondering. I think I prefer Grow Italian that Bill runs, but then I'm not ordering seeds like I used to so I'll rely on the reports back from others re the Gourmet and Italian Tool offerings.
