This kind of sucks. If I don't order from SSE or BC then I order from Parks. I like them and have always gotten good delivery and good germination. So Sad.

(first the "ruptured balloon over the saloon" was too large, then I made it too tiny - not worth putting your glasses on for . . . ;))

They aren't gone, Obsessed. (Unless a bankruptcy judge decides they are.)

There are a fair number of folks who aren't happy with Parks this year - waiting and waiting for their orders to be filled, and then not getting what they wanted. Or, this year, there are some very vocal people in this group.

Obviously, the corporation has to find a better way of doing business. What they've been doing isn't working out. Now, the chickens have come home to roost - not necessarily, all bad.

I got what I wanted from Park, but the germination rate is HORRIBLE! My Baker Creek stuff is doing great. I got 1 cucumber plant out of several dozen seeds and NO spoon tomatoes to germinate at all with my park seeds.
