Ordered 3 different kinds from 3 different suppliers. Some yes, and some in little plastic bags. Ate 3 fruits of my labors at lunch yesterday. Yummy

Mine were packaged in a small plastic bag like from the veterinary's office.

One of the main reasons I bought this jar was because of the two previous answers saying there were seeds. I love having the seeds, unfortunately the jar I just got did NOT have seeds. I'm not sure why it was different. I was disappointed that it had no seeds, but the taste was still incredible.

I don't know but I'd say unless they say organic in the name probably not. I did get some organic heirloom tomato seeds from seeds and things but not all their stuff is organic. After I had already bought the seeds I found this: http://www.treehugger.com/lawn-garden/10-best-seed-companies-selected-by-readers.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm;_medium=twitter&utm;_campaign=Feed%3A+MrBrownThumbTreeHugger+%28MrBrownThumb+TreeHugger%29 which was cool, they have both pdf catalogs and free hard copies (if you don't mind waiting for them to mail). How this helps :)

I am not sure since I threw away the paper packet they came in, but I can tell you that not one seed germinated. The rest of my garden is thriving (squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, okra etc, etc, etc). This was the only seed that did not germinate for me. I followed planting recommendations and planted in seed starter soil in small peat pots but no luck at all. If you buy I wish you better luck than I had. I ended up buying a couple started plants. They are doing just great.

The envelope I got was a little smaller than regular seed packet size. Just cause there's 26K seeds doesn't mean it's a large package, they are little larger than salt grains. You could put a whole pack in the wedding favor bag.

Not sure my last message went out. I have been very pleased with this seed and it does grow with very little soil. I simply rake the ground, plant the seed and have been very pleased with this product. Jim in Arkansas

When I purchased "Kale Vates" about 1 and a half years ago, there where many seeds in the little Packet, I didn't count them, they are very small, however, to me, it was a sufficient amount and they all grew up successfully, in fact Kale still growing everywhere! ...We Love It!

I tried to research the answer to this question. I went to their site and put heirloom tomatoes in the search box, and this tomato variety was not included in that group. I put pollinated tomatoes in the search box and no tomatoes came up in the search box. I am unsure about the answer to the b. part of the question. In this link, many of their seeds are. I will attach it. http://missladybugsgarden.com/1/post/2013/01/botanical-interests-heirloom-organic-seed-bank-giveaway.html

I just tried tomatoes this year, and the first year I ever grew them in pots. I did get plenty of tomatoes on them but when the weather get hotter I should have moved them outside the green house sooner. I live in So. Cal. and It got to hot in the green house and burned them even with the door and windows open. I am hoping the winter will be better.

I did not receive beans or peas either. Sorry, I don't know how the seed types are decided. So far though, every seed has sprouted. I created a second set now of other greens etc

Yes! That's how they are supposed to arrive. Plant the whole crown, with just the tiny dried sticks above the dirt (if there are any). I planted mine in May and had fruit in the fall. They are already fruiting for this year.

Yes, to keep the different nutrients in a liquid solution, they are split up in the three bottle. I started my first batch of plants with only the Gro solution. They were yellow (chlorotic) and didn't grow. I Didn't have the bottle with the proper nitrogen. Then read the full directions (I know-obvious first step) , ordered the others, added them and boom everything took off.

Thanks for this information, I am specifically looking for seeds organic NOT from China. Is it just me or is it not very strange that one cannot find pumpkin seeds from the US? Even more curious is why they are almost always from China. I have found them from Mexico but not organic.

Well, I didn't take them all out and individually count them. I would be surprised if anyone did, as many of the seeds are very small. The individual seed bags do have a count printed on them, and the entire setup seems very thorough and accurate. Not a "cheap" or skeptical product; I have no reason to think there are less than stated. I was very impressed and am sure you will be as well. The amount of seeds really isn't the point though... If its technically 200 short or something, it doesn't really matter. There are more than sufficient seeds per species, and the seeds are in great condition, well labeled, secured, and legit.

Listen, if you want no chemicals at all in your produce then grow your own. You can do this indoors too. I grow my tomatoes and for several years have dehydrated them then powdered them. Use a dry net on the cheap side, alton brown method or by a SQUARE dehydrator. Slice in a processor extra thin then powder in the processor. You want diced tomatoes? Dice n dry. I stopped buying canned for the most part years ago. I also stopped worrying so much about what I eat. My Gramma is nearly 100 yrs old and lives on her own. She eats what she can easily get

Last year, I put 3 pepper plants in one, which worked out fine. I also put 2 tomato plants in another, as stated in other comment, one at each end. They did OK, and they both grew very large, but I'm doing only one per box this year. The root mass was, I think, too large and they seemed crammed when I took down the plants last year. In the instructions, they give you ideas but also say that it's more trial and error. I think the climate conditions have some influence on your results as well. A family member who lives in Vegas, NV, had poor results because of the extreme heat.

I bought several plants and none of them bloomed at all this season. My parents have the same plants and they are beautiful. It could be that it was damaged in shipping or that it just got some type of disease. If you got any of the pods from the vines save those let them dry out and plant them in the spring. the pods house the seeds.
