justamouse Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Has anyone ordered from them and had good luck? I have to admit, their catalog turns me off. I know it's supposed to feel old fashioned, but to me it looks like junk mail and I have this feeling of distrust when I read it. So, do you love their seeds and plants?

momto2Cs Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'm not sure about Jung's, but I would totally recommend Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have ordered seeds and small plants from them and was happy. I haven't ordered from them in a few years though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSurprise Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Jung's is a standard seed company from the upper Midwest. I live within 30 minutes of one of their brick and mortar stores and haven't had any unusual problems in the 10 years we've lived here (I can always sprout their seeds so I assume most problems to be environment). If you're looking for heirloom seeds they're kind of limited, but for standard seeds they're okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflymommy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Their roses are great-- I've ordered a number of hydrangeas from them. About half (of the hydrangeas) were junk and the other half were very nice. Their replacement policy is pretty good. Seeds... we have not had good luck. I prefer swalllowtail garden seeds and select seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciyates Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I love Seed Savers. They are great. I have never had a problem with the quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I've ordered from Jung and didn't have any problems. I don't know that they are any better or worse than other catalogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
