They are good business people and they are experts in their field. I have had no bad experiences with them and will continue to do business with them in the future. We have decided to link our company with Marianna's seeds and we look forward to a exciting and rewarding experience. |

I am excited! One variety that Marianna was out of was substituted for a comparable variety. Thank you Marianna. I had a problem with my order and I contacted Marianna by phone twice, each of us contributed input, and we subsequently figured out what the problem was... and solved it! Marianna, you have excellent service and awesome customer skills. Thank you for being patient with me. A plan is in order to drive to your new location in Copemish, Michigan and purchase some plants. |

Impressed with the added variety this year. I haven't had any issues with this supplier/company and will order with them again. The section "create your own heirloom" is an interesting idea and something to consider if you have the space for future growouts. |

I still have seed I have saved from varieties I bought and tried over the years. Great place to buy something new to try and see if it works in my garden and climate. They seem to have a fair price and I would highly recommend them. |

The germination rates were ridiculously low, considering the super-high seed packet prices. 2.) I had four varieties that did not match their description at all. 3.) Delivery time is insanely slow in the off-season. I applaud them for attempting to preserve so many rare varieties, but I will not order from them again.

Positive | elkwc36 (24 reviews) | On Jul 18, 2010, elkwc36 Elkhart, KS wrote: I ordered from her this season. Have had great results with her seeds as far as germination and all are growing well at this point. Will know more about taste and if they grow true to type later. Which I expect they will. The only complaint I have is I wish she would answer questions. I know she is like other vendors and busy but when so many varieties are offered it is nice when they will offer opinions on what might grow well in your area. There has to be some varieties that are at the top when so many are offered. Many times there is little information when you do a search and the descriptions are very general I will buy from her again. Service was in the expected time frame and friendly. I recommend her business as a source of hard to find seeds. |

Positive | GardeningGirl (13 reviews) | On Mar 24, 2009, GardeningGirl Chicago, IL wrote: I've ordered from Marianna's for years - she has a great selection, and there are always a lot of seeds in each packet, and the germination is excellent. This year, even when it seems like so many places are experiencing delays due to an overwhelming number of orders, if that was the case with Marianna's I couldn't tell. My seeds got here VERY quickly! The descriptions on the website always make me chuckle a bit, since all the tomatoes seem to be a favorite variety, but it's kind of nice to see that kind of enthusiasm. Will definitely keep ordering from Marianna's in the future! |

I called to make sure she got my order and she didn't have it on record but the check I sent was deposited so she was willing to redo my order but she ended up finding my order and all was resloved. My plants were in perfect condition and produced big and healthy tomatoes! I recommend this place! |
Positive | brokenbar (4 reviews) | On Mar 5, 2007, brokenbar Cowley, WY wrote: I grow specialty tomatoes for the upscale restaurant market trade which means I buy a lot of tomato seeds online. My seed buying experiences range from abysmal (slow shipping, orders never arriving, zero/poor germination, seeds mislabeled, etc.) to as superb as it gets and I put Marianna's seeds in that catagory. Seeds arrive promptly, labeled and packaged well, and "out-germinate" (not sure if that's a word but nonetheless...) all other seeds planted at the same time. I start all the seeds I buy at approximately the same time. I use warming mats and peat pellets. Marianna's seeds germinate just about twice as fast as the other seeds from different vendors do. Those seedlings average 3 inches of height on other seedlings at about 3 weeks of age. I can only tell you that I have had numerous seed-buying dissappointments over the years and it is really a treat to have a vendor who does everything right. If you are looking for tomato seeds, look no further. Marianna's seeds wil not disappoint you. Mary in Wyoming |

We love reading through their site and viewing the beautiful photos in the gallery. After placing our first order with them we were pleasantly surprised to receive our seeds only two days later! Now that's fast service. |

I had a question and a missing item, she responded to my email within 24 hours and the missing seeds were in my mail box within 3 days. I am very pleased with this company so far. I will add to this posting after I have had the opportunity to grow and sample the tomatoes. |

Fabulous selection of peppers and eggplant as well. Consistently prompt and courteous; just a pleasure to deal with. |

Prices are quite reasonable and my order arrived promptly. Germination so far is very good, I'd be happy to order from them again next year. |
Positive | Terry (122 reviews) | On Apr 10, 2002, Terry Murfreesboro, TN (Zone 7a) wrote: Last year I saw a story about Marianne Jones in our local paper, and thought I'd try several of her pepper and tomato seeds this year. The seeds arrived very promptly, and had good germination. The prices were reasonable; the only downside is getting in your order - I had to mail it in after several unsuccessful attempts to fax it in. She only accepts phone orders one morning a week. Online ordering would be great. |
