I have saved them each year for several years and get the same beans year after year.

i need to get my order in and get growing. i got killed by a cold snap this spring.

They're great.

did order some peppers seed. sorta spendy, especially considering the germination you get out of peppers seeds sometimes.
but glad to hear folks recommending them.

author of Gardening When It Counts, The Intelligent Gardener, and other books. He sold the company a while ago. I would trust them for good germination rates and proper genetics.

I follow Ed Smith's advice and buy seeds from a company in my "region". I shop at Johnnysseeds.com in Maine, Harris Seeds in Rochester, NY, and Stokes Seed in Niagara Falls. Those three stores have germination test results.

The farm market near me has a chili pepper selection by "Kevin Malone the Pepperman". He sells starts and seeds. I used to get his print out of strains. I don't know if he focuses on pure genetics. I just phoned and nobody picked up. I ya really wanna know more, I will pursue it. I might be driving that way later Saturday, I can bang on the door. 440-256-3630 "Rocks"

No issues with plants grown though.

Haven't tried saving any of their seeds, though.
