Excellent production and taste. The tomatoes I planted, Big Bite, were likewise great, with huge, uniform and good-tasting fruits. Good production from both. I started using HPS because they had stuff I couldn't get elsewhere (I found them after a LENGTHY internet search for an item). Now I will use them as my primary source and will only order from others the items that I want that HPS does not carry. On January 26th, 2010, taufgardner added the following: Yeah, I know I keep adding to my entries, gotta get a life, but wanted to state that my 2010 order came as ordered and in good condition and timely. I have found that HPS seeds produce true to type better than some other catalog's seeds and I trust them. On January 19th, 2011, taufgardner added the following: Another good seed order. One thing that they did this year that showed an extra effort was to send me out the seeds they did have and let me know that a packet was on back order. At first, I was worried I might not get that other seed in time (I know it's still waaaay early). Not the case. The back ordered item came a couple of days later and still ahead of seeds I ordered the same day from other companies. They could have waited and saved the extra shipping cost they incurred, but they wanted to be prompt with as much of the order as possible. All three of their sister companies from which I ordered (the Jung family of seed catalogs) were the first orders to arrive. Very impressed and excited for another successful year with this company's seeds. Always good germination rates and very true to type. If there were a better rating than positive, I'd change my rating to that. On March 8th, 2012, taufgardner added the following: Was my primary supplier this year. Seeds came within a few days of ordering. I like this company a lot, seems to be the best of the associated companies, such as Jung and Totally Tomatoes, although I like them all. I planted some three year old Big Bertha pepper seeds with germination that compared favorably with new seeds of other varieties I bought this year. I attribute this to their somewhat unique packaging. |

I especially enjoy the many varieties of petunias they carry; I have made some spectacular hanging baskets with varieties I cannot buy at my local nursery. |

Positive | sirtanon (1 review) | On Feb 20, 2007, sirtanon Buckeye, AZ wrote: I have ordered seeds from HPS quite a few times over the last couple years. Roughly 90% of the seeds I've ordered have been tomato seeds, with the other 10% being mostly peppers. To date, I have yet to have a single order that did not arrive promptly, packaged well and in good condition. |

Positive | cowgardener (30 reviews) | On Feb 6, 2006, cowgardener Southport, ME wrote: This company seems to have improved its service. The seeds arrived quickly, in foil packs and have generous quantities for the price. We have grown some of their more unusual varieties (like single color double snapdragons) & have had good garden performance from them. |
