Gardeners of FS - MIgardener seed order report

(Anonymous) 2019-02-09 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello, fellow gardeners!

Not too long ago, someone asked for recs on seed companies, and MIgardener was mentioned by one anon.

https://migardener.com

I put in a small order because the seeds were super cheap - .99 a packet! One review on one variety suggested that maybe the website seed count did not match actual seed count, which concerned me but I wanted to test it out. My order arrived today and I thought I'd report back my findings.

The number listed initially is the seed count as reported by the MIgardener website. "Unknown" is when they don't list a number. The number in parenthese is the seed count actually written on the package. I haven't opened up packages to count all the seeds myself and in some cases that's really not practical.


Mammoth Long Island Dill - 250 (200)
Chives - 250 (250)
Catnip - 350 (350)
Borage - 60 (60)
Slow Bolt Arugula - unknown (400)
Basil, Italian Large Leaf - unknown (500)
Basil, Genovese - unknown (500)
Basil, Siam Queen - unknown (200)
Marigold, Crackerjack - 150 (100)
Butterfly Milkweed - 500 (50)
Wild Bergamot “Bee Balm” Flower - 100 (100)

So for the most part, seed counts on the website (when known) vs. seed counts on the package are consistent. Only the marigold and the butterfly milkweed was off, but the butterfly milkweed was waaaaaaaay off by an order of magnitude. I'm not upset, but I'll probably e-mail them a heads up about correcting their listings.

Otherwise, packaging is fine and they shipped it in a reasonable amount of time. S/H costs are quite reasonable too, IIRC.

I was the anon who recced them and didn’t know about the counts. I appreciate your update, thank you!

No problem! It wasn't too far off, and I did think that getting 500 butterfly milkweed seeds for only .99 was too good to be true. If these all germinate reasonably well, I'd order from them again.

SA - I misstyped. The Mammoth Dill was listed on the website as 250 seeds per pack, but the actual package only says 200. So that was three seed packets where the count didn't match.
