Comments regarding Southern Exposure Seed Exchange

I ordered 'Star of David' okra last summer and the seeds arrived on time in the mail. I live in central NC and we happened to have a severe drought at that time. The okra did very well considering. It is now winter 2003 and I have placed another order for various vegetables, sunflowers and 2 colored varieties of cotton. I don't think I'll be disappointed!

I used a credit card and ordered about a dozen packets of seeds. Delivery was fast, and I appreciated the little percentage-count on the package fronts about how many I could expect to germinate. I planted the seeds Saturday and the radishes are already poking their little heads up. Entirely pleased with the turnaround, prices, and seeds so far.

What a wonderful company. My order came complete in short order (less than 7 days both ways via U.S. mail). So far, I've only planted out the onions and a few lettuces this year and all but one lettuce seed has rapidly germinated. The catalog is as informative as a high priced book. I have yet to find such a wide selection of great tasting heirloom tomatoes. This company will receive much of my business in the future.

I love Southern Exposure! They have a terrific selection of heirloom and OP seeds, the catalog descriptions are very complete, the seeds are top quality.... I always recommend them when people ask me where to get "old fashioned" veggie seeds.

Great folks, great catalogue, great selection, great service.

High seed germination rate and plant quality.
Excellent seed selection for the southern gardener, for our specific issues.
Good cultivation tips and interesting historical info.

Very happy with seed./germination quality. They also ship when they say they will. Great info and resource for Southern gardeners, with our particular garden problems.

For those of us NOT in the New England states these people are invaluable. The seeds have a very good germination rate. The catalog has very good descriptions of the plant and fruit. It also contains helpful planting and growing advice.

Dr. Jeff McCormack is the director, and he makes a creditable effort to grow out and stock heirloom and open pollinated flower and veggie varieties. If he doesn't grow it, he gets his seeds from specialists such as Dr. Carolyn Male. She grows out over 300 varieties of heirloom and OP tomatoes annually.
