Some
seeds require some experience in growing. We provide germination guidance and
recommend that you do some research before ordering if you feel unsure. Growing
plants from seed is supposed to be fun. Sometimes it is successful and
sometimes not- this is the way it is with gardening. Because we are not there
to plant them, we cannot be responsible for germination failure due to improper
planting or climate conditions. We will always send you viable seeds

Seed
is a live product which depends on many important grower skills such as proper
planting time, seed depth, type of soil, watering, light intensity, proper use
of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, soil conditions, and
reasonable weather during the growing period. These factors are totally out of
the sellers control, and germination and growing results are the buyer's
responsibility and risk.
