I am excited to announce that I have started some of my seeds for this season’s garden. After weeks of waiting for them, and literally weeks, because I placed my order from Swallowtail Garden Seeds on February 7th and received them March 6th. Swallowtail is based out of California, and I originally found them months ago when searching for flower seeds and I found their website to be well laid out, their prices fair, and everything I was looking for. I ordered flower seeds with a few vegetable seeds back in September. When the time came to figure out what else I would need for the garden I went right back to them for my second order. With a confirmation email sent to me on February 14th I started to wonder why they hadn’t come in the mail a week later. So I went to the USPS link for my package to discover that it had left Denver on February 20th. “Great!” I thought, they will be here soon enough. They still hadn’t come a week later. So back to the USPS link to discover my package was in Springfield, MA. on February 28th. Wait, what? Um, Massachusetts is nowhere near Colorado last time I checked. Odd. So I called Swallowtail and the woman put me on hold for what felt like forever. When she finally gets back on the phone she says “Hello Jesska, I am going to have to take a look at what is going on here with your package because what the USPS website is telling me doesn’t make any sense.” To which I reply “You mean because it’s in Massachusetts?” Anyway, all time aside, they are here now, and quite a few of them have made it into their warm and cozy germination beds. Lets cross our fingers and hope for the best!
