By SteveandJeannie November 15, 2016 | Tomatoes Cozy in Low Tunnel We took a cutting from what we observed to be a cold-tolerant summer 2015 tomato plant and put it fully rooted into a low tunnel in our zone 8b south-facing garden.

By Paul2032 November 13, 2016 | Growing African Violets I love working in my garden, but each year the weather turns sometime in Oct/Nov as winter approaches.

I just recieved my first order from Seedaholic and as mentioned by other reviewers, I was blown away. The datasheets that come with each packet of seeds are beautiful and VERY informative. I have ordered from many plant companies and have never gotten so much information with my plants/seeds. I'm going to start a notebook so I can keep the information sheets I got. I heartily recommend this company and will be ordering from them again. They have a big selection and lots of things we don't usually see in the states.
Bought some plants about 2 months ago from Get Green Aus online, and to my surprise they arrived just a few days later. I planted them with the help of my husband, and they are looking surprisingly good. Best plant nursery company that I ever used. Highly recommended!!!
