I got my order today and quite seriously there was an INCEDIBLE amount of seeds per package than listed in the catalog.

May I suggest people who order from the "Top30" on "Daves Garden" report their experience on every order.

Yes, Johnny's is more expensive than many other seed sources and the shipping is definitely pricey BUT their customer service is first rate!

I ordered some seed early on Thursday morning via the phone and they were in my mailbox on Saturday! The whole process was a pleasure and I felt VERY confident ordering with them

I can't wait for my seeds to grow and then being able to harvest them come Fall. I will definitely continue ordering from Johnny's

My wife and I have a rather large garden planned for this season, and we are starting numerous vegatables and flowers from seed. There were a several varieties we couldn't find locally, so we ordered them from Johnny's.

We ordered everything online, and our seeds arrived by mail within a few days. So far the germination rates seem to be quite high, and I'm very pleased with my experience. I'll definately do business with them again, and I'll probably purchase the majority of my garden seeds from them next time around.

Prompt service, and emailed when one seed selection was on back order. I only ordered a few seed packets, but would gladly order from them again.

I have ordered from them the last three years and have never had anything even resembling a slight problem in any facet of their great business. I order from many other fantastic seed companies on a regular basis and am very active in seed trading/exchanging too. I can honestly say and strongly believe that their customer service and committment to offering a guarenteed, quality product cannot be beat.

Their shipping costs tend to be somewhat higher than many other companies(but not talking huge bucks...maybe 1$ or $2) IMO and a cultivar or two might be considered somewhat pricey but it is what it is. With them you get what you pay for and they'll always stand by it. I'll be taking a vacation in Maine this summer, confident I'll have a great time checking out their store and farm.

This is one of the best companies. You order and get what you want. You ask a question, they answer. I have ordered from them for years. And will be again this year shortly, 100s of dollars in seeds and absolutely no problems with the people or the seeds.

I have ordered from Johnny's a number of times and have always been happy with them. Their prices are a bit higher, but they do provide a large amount of quality seeds with good germination rates. There have been a few packets that had poor germination and fewer seeds due to the variety, but they were quick to replace them.

I ordered the Pro Am Seedstart Kit. The representative was very nice. I was going to order something else I thought I was going to need to use with the kit and he assured me it was not necessary. Everything I needed was in the kit. That doesn't happen very often! And my package arrived very quickly. I'll definitely buy from them again!

I've ordered both seeds and bulbs from Johnny's, and have always received high-quality products. In particular this year, their 14+cm tulip bulbs were huge, as expected, and about 50% heavier than 12+cm bulbs, but priced competitively with their other bulbs.

Over the years I have ordered from a Johnny's a few time and each was a delight. The seeds always arrived in a timely fashion, the orderes were complete, except once when they were out of a seed. In which they refuned my money and provided a $5 coupon. I've had good germination rates with there seed and in fact I'm still using seed I've harvested from the original ordered seeds years later.

First time customer and not a single problem in sight! Ordered some "Islander" pepper seeds and was very pleased. I will certainly be shopping from them again in the future, no question! =) I wish my printed catalogue would hurry up and arrive, though, so I don't have to get online when I want to browse. ;)

2004 was my first year to try Johnny's so I only ordered a few items. Everything was so good (as well as customer service and culture information online) that I ordered all my seeds with the exception of what they didn't carry from Johnny's for the 2005 season. I find their prices to be slightly higher than some of my usual seed sources but the overall quality is so good that I willingly pay it. We have a pretty large garden and a very short growing season so having a high percentage of seeds germinate is important. We are still in danger of frost and the corn didn't get the warm soil it needs to start breaking through because of the prolonged cold nights and nontypical spring rains. We figured it for a loss and were pleasantly surprised when it started popping through last week. We will definately use Johnny's pretreated corn to plant from now on -- 98% germination, WOW!

Fabulous company!

Astoundingly fast shipping, excellent customer service, premium seeds (very good germ. rates) and great value on seed prices. (I do think the shipping charges are high, but Johnny's is such a joy to deal with that I don't mind so much.) Their website is also excellent...easy to use and immediate email response.

I've ordered from many seed companies, and Johnny's is my hands-down favorite!

Ordered seeds and supplies from them the last 3 years; consistently the best germination from any seeds I buy.

Great customer service, very knowledgeable people on the phone who are happy to help out with any question.

More organic offerings each year, they really seem to make a real effort to expand their products.

My favorite garden/seed company, by far.

I've ordered from Johhnny's for a couple years now and have always been pleased with their selection and germination rates. I will continue to order from them because shipping is prompt, and if something is backordered they always send an email letting me know and when to expect delivery. Delivery has always been when they say it will arrive too.

Johnny's continues to have a fantastic selection of veg seeds for my zone 5 garden. I highly recommend the gourmet lettuce mixes and their long day onion seed selection. My 2009 order was placed and received within 7 working days which I think is pretty fast especially since it was over the holidays.

I ordered row cover and seeds from Johnny's. Even though it's fall, I ordered the seeds so I could get the free crocuses.

Johnny's has a wide selection of row covers to choose from--it took me a while to make up my mind. Same with the seeds, actually.

I received a notification by email both upon receipt of my order and when the order was shipped. Everything arrived in good condition, and the free crocuses were as good as any of the other crocuses I bought this year.

I ordered pumpkin seeds and gourd seeds from Johnny's this year. I really appreciated their timely response to my emails. I propagated everything except the Connecticut Field pumpkins in peat pots and had 100% germination. I direct-seeded the Connecticut Field pumpkins and didn't bother to count the seeds when I did it. All I know is that they totally took over, creating an ocean of pumpkin vines as high as my waist. Everything was very productive, with no hint of virus or stress, and looked even better in person than it did on their web site. I will be a repeat customer.

I ordered seeds in early spring from several seed companies, including Johnny's. Their seeds came quickly and were as ordered. I particularly like the details they give on the seed packet, much better than other company's minimal information. I will definitely order more from them next year.

I ordered again from Johnny's in Feb 2005 and was not disappointed. Seeds arrived quickly and I've again gotten good germination. They continue to be impressive, and I love the details they give on the seed packets -- not generic stuff like Parks but real specific information that is great to have when you're planting.
On October 15th, 2005, EP added the following:

Johnny's bulbs are also very nice and arrive surprisingly fast. Last year I ordered tulips for the garden and hyacinths for forcing. All of them did well, with top size bulbs and blooms. This year I ordered bulbs again on a Sunday and received them Tuesday without any special express. These guys are great. Again, nice quality bulbs.

What would I do without Johnnys? My main seed order always comes from them, however I do wish they offered more organic seed. I can always rely on the quality and germination of their seeds. I would rate Johnnys as the #1 seed company out there, and believe me I think I've ordered from nearly all of them!! Thank You Johnnys!!
